The intention is that the "generic" token interface be capable
of being augmented with with future token types (such as rxgk) in
the future.  The assumption is that in a given realm,
all db & file servers be capable of dealing with the same
credential type, and that is the responsibility of aklog/klog,
with input from the user & from the kdc, to get the appropriate
credential.  The "capability" call is intended to return
information on cm capabilities.  For now it only supports
rxk5 encryption types.  In the future, it might also return
information on other things, or have a companion pioctl
to allow setting things.  This might be used to get/set
locking behavior or fs setcrypt.

We bashed out a lot of the details of what the new interfaces will look like and what the fallback and transition mechanisms need to be at the rxgk hackathon last month. Details, including the specifications for the new VIOCGETTOK2 and VIOCSETTOK2 pioctls, can be found at
