Although it perhaps doesn't say so explicitly in the descriptions for
MVCSK/MVCDK, I think it is completely clear from the use in those
instruction definitions (and others) of the phrase "access key", when read
with the description of Key-Controlled Protection in Chapter 3. Storage,
which uses the same phrase, and says "The keys are said to match when the
four access-control bits of the storage key are equal to the access key, or
when the access key is zero."
