I would prefer CRYPTO_PKEY and pkey rather than pke generally and algo rather
than alg where possible - this will have more consistency with what we have
now.

I understand, however, that in core crypto code, 'alg' is used.

+	seq_printf(m, "can encrypt  : %s\n", cap & PKEY_CAN_ENCRYPT ?

Please split the line after the comma.

Will filling a hole cause a problem with something that got obsoleted?

I recommend:

	pk -> key or pkey
	pks -> sig or signature

Keep member names as:

	u8		n_pub_mpi;	/* Number of MPIs in public key */
	u8		n_sec_mpi;	/* Number of MPIs in secret key */
	u8		n_sig_mpi;	/* Number of MPIs in a signature */

please.
