Quick test: this variant does not run on OMAP5. Complains that it does not know OMAP5432,
about bad number of cores and mismatch of config options.

So there are multiple different user-space variants around, not only for different
SGX versions but older and newer.

Most likely we need to clone a different branch from git://git.ti.com/graphics/omap5-sgx-ddk-um-linux.git
