This patchset has gone through numerous rounds of review and
all comments/suggetions have been addressed. The reviews have
covered all relevant areas including reviews by block and keyring
developers as well as the SED Opal maintainer.

TCG SED Opal is a specification from The Trusted Computing Group
that allows self encrypting storage devices (SED) to be locked at
power on and require an authentication key to unlock the drive.

PowerPC/pseries versions of key functions provide read/write access
to SED Opal keys in the PLPKS keystore.

The SED block driver has been modified to read the SED Opal
keystore to populate a key in the SED Opal keyring. Changes to the
SED Opal key will be written to the SED Opal keystore.


Changelog
v8:     - rebased to 6.6-rc4
	- fixed issues using clang (thanks Nathan Chancellor and Nick
	  Desaulniers)
	- fixed crash if PLPKS is not present for pseries (thanks Michael
	  Ellerman)

v7:     - rebased to for-6.5/block

v6:     - squashed two commits (suggested by Andrew Donnellan)

v5:     - updated to reflect changes in PLPKS API

v4:
        - scope reduced to cover just SED Opal keys
        - base SED Opal keystore is now in SED block driver
        - removed use of enum to indicate type
        - refactored common code into common function that read and
          write use
        - removed cast to void
        - added use of SED Opal keystore functions to SED block driver

v3:
        - No code changes, but per reviewer requests, adding additional
          mailing lists(keyring, EFI) for wider review.

v2:
        - Include feedback from Gregory Joyce, Eric Richter and
          Murilo Opsfelder Araujo.
        - Include suggestions from Michael Ellerman.
        - Moved a dependency from generic SED code to this patchset.
          This patchset now builds of its own.
