zkey does NOT support ECC keys, since dm-crypt only works with AES keys, not with ECC. So ECC keys are totally out if scope of this feature (SEC2340). SEC2340 only cares about the updates in the zkey tool as of s390-tools.

The updates in the pkey kernel module are tracked in feature SEC2341, which I guess is this launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/2028937
Note that 'pkey' != 'zkey' although only one letter difference :-)

For testing the ECC key support of the pkey device driver, you need to use a self written test program that calls the ioctl. You might get in touch with Holger Dengler about how to test the other functions of the pkey module.
