I don't think the patchset here has incorporated the results of the
discussion [1] that happened at the end of 2021. For example, it looks
like AES-CTR is still in use for the pages, which I thought was
already determined to be insufficient.

The following next steps were proposed in that thread:

Does this patchset need review before those steps are taken (or was
there additional conversation/work that I missed)?
