Jeff you've ignored pretty much everything I've said here. This is not
collaboration. And you keep doing this + causing disharmony among other
devleopers. It's getting tiresome, and you need to do better.

If you insist on review for this patch as it stands - NACK.

The commit message is ludicriously short, you've not sent the series
correctly, and you are ignoring feedback.

Resend this with a substantially improved commit message and ideally some
actual comments in your tests rather than a giant lump of code which
constitutes 'how Jeff feels mseal() should work'.

Then when people give feedback - listen.
