Both KVM and IOMMU driver need page_keyid() and mktme_keyid_shift to set page's keyID to the right
place in the PTE (of KVM EPT and VT-d DMA page table).

MKTME key type code need to know mktme_nr_keyids in order to alloc/free keyID.

Maybe better to introduce functions instead of exposing variables directly?

Or instead of introducing page_keyid(), we use page_encrypt_mask(), which essentially holds
"page_keyid() << mktme_keyid_shift"?
