David Howells 2aa349f6e3 [PATCH] Keys: Export user-defined keyring operations
Export user-defined key operations so that those who wish to define their
own key type based on the user-defined key operations may do so (as has
been requested).

The header file created has been placed into include/keys/user-type.h, thus
creating a directory where other key types may also be placed.  Any
objections to doing this?
