But having a tie between both, the kernel crypto API and the key system, that

Sure, let people load keys directly without having to instantiate keys
and then reference them. My point is that only an API which permits
*both* models is acceptable. Otherwise, people build bogus assumptions
all the way up the stack.

Having both ALG_SET_KEY and ALG_SET_KEY_ID in parallel seems ideal.
