Ah, I didn't realize the kernel needed to be protected from the key
parsing part because you called it out as a trusted operation. So on
the protect-the-kernel-side it's similar to the microkernel security
reasoning.

Did I get the other part wrong - that you want to protect the sandbox
from the rest of kernel as well?
