Every HW is going to want to add "trusted keys" support.   We've seen
this with Udit Agarwal's "secure keys" proposal for NXP CAAM crypto HW
accelerator.  If we go down this route to extend "trusted keys" to
support specific implementations like this one, I strongly recommend
requiring an accompaying high-level threat model.  This is similar to
how new LSMs need to comply with Documentation/security/lsm-
development.rst.

Based on Elaine's work with OCP, an example of a high-level threat
model is "Common Security Threats v1.0” (
https://www.opencompute.org/documents/common-security-threats-notes-1-pdf
 ).
