I don't think this is a good idea.  Trusted keys already have a pre-
defined max payload size (MAX_BLOB_SIZE in include/keys/trusted-type.h)
and I've already had to increase this several times because once you
get policy attached to a key, it can get pretty big (over a page). 
Exactly the same thing will happen to asymmetric keys as well, so it
does make sense that they share the same maximum (probably in a more
generic header, though).

Since the code already right sizes the allocation and all we check with
this is whether it's over a pre-defined maximum, it's way easier if
that maximum is defined in a header rather than passed in in several
places making increasing the maximum really hard because you have to
chase all the threading.
