With this patch the paes ciphers do accept AES clear key values of size 16, 24 or 32 byte. The key value is internal rearranged to form a paes clear key token so that the pkey kernel module recognizes and handles this key material as source for protected keys. Using clear key material as a source for protected keys is a security risc as the raw key material is kept in memory. However, so the AES selftests provided with the testmanager can be run during registration of the paes ciphers.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
