[RFC v2 00/13] Multi-Key Total Memory Encryption API (MKTME)

Hi Thomas, David,

Here is an updated RFC on the API's to support MKTME.
(Multi-Key Total Memory Encryption)

This RFC presents the 2 API additions to support the creation and
usage of memory encryption keys:
 1) Kernel Key Service type "mktme"
 2) System call encrypt_mprotect()

This patchset is built upon Kirill Shutemov's work for the core MKTME
support.

David: Please let me know if the changes made, based on your review,
are reasonable. I don't think that the new changes touch key service
specific areas (much).

Thomas: Please provide feedback on encrypt_mprotect(). If not a
review, then a direction check would be helpful.

I picked up a few more 'CCs this time in get_maintainer!

Thanks!
Alison
