I don't think so.  The main point of adding keys directly to the filesystem is
that it's generally inappropriate to apply OS-level access control or
process-based visibility restrictions to fscrypt keys given that:

- The unlocked/locked status of files is already filesystem-level.
- The purpose of encryption is orthogonal to OS-level access control.

The ioctl based interface also makes it *much* easier to implement all the
semantics needed for removing fscrypt keys.

I don't see how key ACLs would be appropriate here, except that key ACLs would
allow userspace to opt-in to fixing the denial of service vulnerability where
keyctl_invalidate() only requires Search permission.  But for fscrypt that's
addressed by my proposal too, and is just one of many problems it addresses.
