What are the security implications of this approach?

That needs to be "a direct mapping" or "the direct mapping".  It's
missing an article to start the sentence.

I think this deserves an update to Documentation/x86/x86_64/mm.txt, no?

"disabled"

Comments, please.

Is this a cleanup that can be separate?

What's the +1 for?  Is "mktme_nr_keyids" 0 for "MKTME unsupported"?
That needs to be called out, I think.

Do you really need two copies of this function?  Shouldn't it see
mktme_status!=MKTME_ENUMERATED and just jump out?  How is the code
before that "goto out" different from the CONFIG_MKTME=n case?
