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 ?
+ "yes" : "no");

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.
