Absolutely,

For the series:

I tested this series on top of v5.14.rc-7 on a Gateworks
imx8mm-venice-gw73xx board with kernel param trusted.source=caam and
keyutils-1.6:
# keyctl new_session
22544757
# keyctl add trusted mykey 'new 32' @s
160701809
# keyctl print 160701809

One more question: I've got a user that wants to blob/deblob generic
data. They can use the caam_encap_blob/caam_decap_blob functions in
kernel code but could you give me a suggestion for how they could use
this in:
a) userspace code (using the keyctl syscall I assume)
b) userspace cmdline (via keyutils I assume)

Many thanks,

Tim
