Crypto Key manager that is loadable

A Spectre compatible module that interfaces the kernel crypto calls, the calls tat ore Spectre contained in the kernel, run in instruction cache with controlled entry and exit, and have access to the Intel protected key registers.  Any other module  has standard Entry interfaces to the crypto system.  If console loop was a dumb DMA controller then Crypto modle adds hardware checks on address space; maintaining the analogy. Not me, to busy, but look, we have great crypto libs already, write the Bus interface to one, then pester Intel.
