I'm afraid I don't know a whole lot about the RPMB.  I've just been and read
https://lwn.net/Articles/682276/ about it.

What is it you envision the keyring API doing with regard to this?  Being used
to represent the key needed to access the RPMB or being used to represent an
RPMB entry (does it have entries?)?
