We need to depend on X86_64 for first upstream version because

1. My in-kernel LE supports only 64-bit *initially* for *simplicity*. It
   can be extended later on.
2. There is no a clean way to setup PAT when SGX driver is running in
   32-bit mode because symbols like reserve_memtype() are not exported
   for kernel modules [1]. The best way to support 32-bit  would be to
   use [2] but it needs to be extended to support WB. Right now it is
   only used by DRM and therefore has only WC-support. For simplicity,
   it is better to clean the hacks for 32-bit environment and move
   later on to [2].

Because of these reasons I think the line should be

depends on CPU_SUP_INTEL && X86_64

[1] arch/x86/mm/pat.c
[2] include/linux/io-mapping.h

I don't think we have to worry about the PAT, my understanding is that
the memtype from the PRMRR overrides everything, e.g. PAT, EPT, MTRR...

Yes, we do. For iomem we can only set PAT attributes correctly and at
least before EPC has been by default uncached. For 64-bit we get it
cached by using ioremap_cache(). PRMRR defines the range but with PAT
we set the caching.
