Hmm... The main problem appears to be the question of how to link the
authorisation key into one of the gssd daemon's keyrings.

I think that can be done when gssd calls ->read() on the RPC pipe in
order to get the upcall message: at the end of the read call, we simply
link the authorisation key into the current session keyring.

Does that sound plausible to you?
