Okay, will do on the next revision.

Do you mean that MKTME_* is indented differently than the rest?

I'll fix that.

Yes, MKTME_* is software. I'll call it out.

0 bits for KeyID means we don't have MKTME. Only TME.

Makes sense.

Has Kai answered this for you?

Okay. Either way fine to me.

We need to mask out bits for KeyID even if we don't use them ourself, so I think
we should do this unconditionally.

I need to re-check this with 32-bit kernel, though.
