Seeking comments on the APIs supporting MKTME on future Intel platforms.

MKTME (Multi-Key Total Memory Encryption) is a technology supporting
memory encryption on upcoming Intel platforms. Whereas TME allows
encryption of the entire system memory using a single key, MKTME
allows mulitple encryption domains, each having their own key. While 
the main use case for the feature is virtual machine isolation, the
API needs the flexibility to work for a wide range of use cases.
Is it a common knowledge what TME is? I kind of dropped out of the wagon
in the 2nd sentence of this paragraph.
