[PATCH 0/9] Add static DEXCR support

This series is a partial iteration of the RFC [1]. It strips out the dynamic
support and just adds the supporting infrastructure and static DEXCR
configuration. It should therefore not be introducing any new userspace ABI.

I could keep iterating and refactoring, but I figure there's enough
here to get useful feedback on the design.
