[PATCH v9 07/51] powerpc: cleanup AMR, IAMR when a key is allocated or freed

Mon Nov 6 19:56:59 AEDT 2017


Cleanup the bits corresponding to a key in the AMR, and IAMR
register, when the key is newly allocated/activated or is freed.
We dont want some residual bits cause the hardware enforce
unintended behavior when the key is activated or freed.
