Trying to evaluate this with the current proposed code is a bit odd, I
think.  Suppose you create a thread-specific key and then fork().  The
child can presumably still use the key regardless of whether the child
can nominally access the key in the keyring because the PTEs are still
there.

More fundamentally, in some sense, the current code has no semantics.
Associating a key with memory and "encrypting" it doesn't actually do
anything unless you are attacking the memory bus but you haven't
compromised the kernel.  There's no protection against a guest that
can corrupt its EPT tables, there's no protection against kernel bugs
(*especially* if the duplicate direct map design stays), and there
isn't even any fd or other object around by which you can only access
the data if you can see the key.

I'm also wondering whether the kernel will always be able to be a
one-stop shop for key allocation -- if the MKTME hardware gains
interesting new uses down the road, who knows how key allocation will
work?
