You changed the krb5_keyblock structure which is part of our ABI.

We created an initializer for krb5_keyblock.  OUr code can have an
expanded krb5_keyblock structure with private data and can cache key
schedules when the initializer and allocator are used, but cannot when
the caller manages krb5_keyblocks themselves.
