Consumer of the kernel crypto api, after allocating
the transformation (tfm), sets the:

- structure 'struct hw_bound_key_info hbk_info'
based on the type of key, the consumer is using.

This helps:

- This helps to influence the core processing logic
  for the encapsulated algorithm.
- This flag is set by the consumer after allocating
  the tfm and before calling the function crypto_xxx_setkey().

Nack.  You still have not provided a convincing argument why
this is necessary since there are plenty of existing drivers in
the kernel already providing similar features.
