User space needs some information about the secure key(s)
before actually invoking the pkey and/or paes funcionality.
This patch introduces a new ioctl API and in kernel API to
verify the the secure key blob and give back some
information about the key (type, bitsize, old MKVP).
Both APIs are described in detail in the header files
arch/s390/include/asm/pkey.h and arch/s390/include/uapi/asm/pkey.h.

This patch introcudes a new kernel module pkey which is providing
protected key handling and management functions. The pkey API is
available within the kernel for other s390 specific code to create
and manage protected keys. Additionally the functions are exported
to user space via IOCTL calls. The implementation makes extensive
use of functions provided by the zcrypt device driver. For
generating protected keys from secure keys there is also a CEX
coprocessor card needed.
