It is needed to query the key capabilities and how to use the key correctly.
In case of a key stored in HW (TPM) it can not be passed to the crypto API.
For now it the public_key_info only contains information about where the key
is stored, which is needed to prevent other modules, like AF_ALG, using
a key that can not be accessed by software. Later, when support for hardware
based public keys will be added this can be extended to describe other
characteristic of the key, like information on what operations the key
supports, size of data is supported, whether a password is
required to unlock it, etc.
