So the remaining question at this point is whether the Intel
behavior (default-deny instead of default-allow) is preferable.

Florian, remind me what behavior needs to fixed?

See the other thread.  The Intel register equivalent to the AMR by 
default disallows access to yet-unallocated keys, so that threads which 
are created before key allocation do not magically gain access to a key 
allocated by another thread.

Thanks,
Florian
