+
+     This optional method permits the key type to attempt to parse payload

+		void		*payload;
+		const void	*data;
+		size_t		datalen;

+
+     Before calling the method, the caller will fill in data and datalen with
+     the payload blob parameters; quotalen will be filled in with the default
+     quota size from the key type and the rest will be cleared.
+
+     If a description can be proposed from the payload contents, that should be
+     attached as a string to the description field.  This will be used for the

+     The method can attach anything it likes to type_data[] and payload.  These
