My goal at the moment is to get folks enabled to the point that they can start modifying apps to use pkeys without having to patch their kernels. I don't have confidence that we can design good high-level userspace interfaces without seeing some real apps try to use the low-level ones and seeing how they struggle. I had some glibc code to do the pkey alloc/free operations, but those aren't necessary if we're doing it in the kernel. Other than getting the syscall wrappers in place, I don't have any immediate plans to do anything in glibc.
