Have you measured how slow this is?
It's an optimization, but can we find a way to only do this dance when
we *actually* change the keyid? Right now, we're doing mapping at alloc
and free, clflushing at free and zeroing at alloc. Let's say somebody does:
ptr = malloc(PAGE_SIZE);
*ptr = foo;
free(ptr);
ptr = malloc(PAGE_SIZE);
*ptr = bar;
free(ptr);
And let's say ptr is in encrypted memory and that we actually munmap()
at free(). We can theoretically skip the clflush, right?
