I think might make it unnecessarily complex. The checks needed when 
testing with pkeys would mean that it would be necessary to check if 
pkeys are enabled and choose which set of tests to run depending on the 
result. The differences are substantial enough that it would be 
challenging to combine them into a single set of tests.
