I have high-level questions:

What is the expected use case?
The wrapping key here is only used for new AES instructions.

I’m aware of their potential use cases for encrypting file system or disks.
I would like to understand what people are actually going to do with
this.  Give me a user story or two, please.  If it turns out to be
useless, I would rather not merge it.
Hi Andy,

V3 was posted here with both cover letter and code changes to address this:
    https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20211124200700.15888-1-chang.seok.bae@intel.com/ (local)

Appreciate, if you can comment on the use case at least.

Thanks,
Chang
