+MKTME Configuration
+===================
+
+CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MKTME
+ MKTME is enabled by selecting CONFIG_X86_INTEL_MKTME on Intel
+ platforms supporting the MKTME feature.
+
+mktme_storekeys
+ mktme_storekeys is a kernel cmdline parameter.
+
+ This parameter allows the kernel to store the user specified
+ MKTME key payload. Storing this payload means that the MKTME
+ Key Service can always allow the addition of new physical
+ packages. If the mktme_storekeys parameter is not present,
+ users key data will not be stored, and new physical packages
+ may only be added to the system if no user type MKTME keys
+ are programmed.
