45 * A key size limitation is an array of bytes. The first byte describes the
46 * kind of limitation on the key size %$k$%; the rest are argument bytes
47 * %$a_i$%, for %$i \ge 0$%. In all cases, %$a_0$% is the `recommended' key
48 * size.
49 *
50 * * @KSZ_ANY@ means there is no restriction.
51 *
52 * * @KSZ_RANGE@ requires that %$k \ge a_1$%, %$k \equiv 0 \pmod{a_3}$%,
53 * and, if %$a_2 \ne 0$%, %$k \le a_2$%.
54 *
55 * * @KSZ_SET@ requires that %$k \in {\,a_i\,}$%.
