[RFC,5/8] x86/cpu: Add a config option and a chicken bit for Key Locker

Commit Message

Chang S. Bae Dec. 16, 2020, 5:41 p.m. UTC

Add a kernel config option to enable the feature (disabled by default) at
compile-time.

Also, add a new command-line parameter -- 'nokeylocker' to disable the
feature at boot-time.
