The revert fixes it for me, thanks!
You probably just have hardware without pkey support. This isn't 100%
definitive, but you can check:
cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep ospke
If that doesn't match the "flags" line, then your hardware doesn't have
support in the first place and the message is totally expected.
