From: Alison Schofield <alison.schofield@xxxxxxxxx> The ACPI HMAT will be used by the MKTME key service to identify topologies that support the safe programming of encryption keys. Those decisions will happen at key creation time and during hotplug events. To enable this, we at least need to have the ACPI HMAT present at init time. If it's not present, do not register the type. If the HMAT is not present, failure looks like this: [ ] MKTME: Registration failed. ACPI HMAT not present. Signed-off-by: Alison Schofield <alison.schofield@xxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Kirill A.
