Did you include support for the new key/keyring infrastructure introduced a couple versions ago by David Howells? It allows userspace to create and manage various sorts of "keys" in kernelspace. If you create and register a few keytypes for various symmetric and asymmetric ciphers, you could then take advantage of its support for securely passing keys around in and out of userspace.
