There is a use case during early boot with an secure key encrypted
root file system where the paes cipher may try to derive a protected
key from secure key while the AP bus is still in the process of
scanning the bus and building up the zcrypt device drivers. As the
detection of CEX cards also triggers the modprobe of the pkey handler
modules, these modules may come into existence too late.
Yet another use case happening during early boot is for use of an
protected key encrypted swap file(system). There is an ephemeral
protected key read via sysfs to set up the swap file. But this only
works when the pkey_pckmo module is already in - which may happen at a
later time as the load is triggered via CPU feature.
This patch introduces a new function pkey_handler_request_modules()
and invokes it which unconditional tries to load in the pkey handler
modules. This function is called for the in-kernel API to derive a
protected key from whatever and in the sysfs API when the first
attempt to simple invoke the handler function failed.

For some keys there exists an alternative but usually slower
path to convert the key material into a protected key.
This patch introduces a new handler function
slowpath_key_to_protkey()
which provides this alternate path for the CCA and EP11
handler code. With that even the knowledge about how
and when this can be used within the pkey API code can
be removed. So now the pkey API just tries the primary
way and if that fails simple tries the alternative way.

Introduce pkey base kernel code with a simple pkey handler registry.
Regroup the pkey code into these kernel modules:
- pkey is the pkey api supporting the ioctls, sysfs and in-kernel api.
Also the pkey base code which offers the handler registry and
handler wrapping invocation functions is integrated there. This
module is automatically loaded in via CPU feature if the MSA feature
is available.
- pkey-cca is the CCA related handler code kernel module a offering
CCA specific implementation for pkey. This module is loaded in
via MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE when a CEX[4-8] card becomes available.
- pkey-ep11 is the EP11 related handler code kernel module offering an
EP11 specific implementation for pkey. This module is loaded in via
MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE when a CEX[4-8] card becomes available.
- pkey-pckmo is the PCKMO related handler code kernel module. This
module is loaded in via CPU feature if the MSA feature is available,
but on init a check for availability of the pckmo instruction is
performed.
The handler modules register via a pkey_handler struct at the pkey
base code and the pkey customer (that is currently the pkey api code
fetches a handler via pkey handler registry functions and calls the
unified handler functions via the pkey base handler functions.
As a result the pkey-cca, pkey-ep11 and pkey-pckmo modules get
independent from each other and it becomes possible to write new
handlers which offer another kind of implementation without implicit
dependencies to other handler implementations and/or kernel device
drivers.
For each of these 4 kernel modules there is an individual Kconfig
entry: CONFIG_PKEY for the base and api, CONFIG_PKEY_CCA for the PKEY
CCA support handler, CONFIG_PKEY_EP11 for the EP11 support handler and
CONFIG_PKEY_PCKMO for the pckmo support. The both CEX related handler
modules (PKEY CCA and PKEY EP11) have a dependency to the zcrypt api
of the zcrypt device driver.
