As I indicated on the release team call yesterday, I strongly object to
pkinit using gak_data as a pin for access to smart cards.  The reason is
that confusing pins and passwords can be problematic and can lead to
card lock outs.

I think an API that took some slot identifier or token identifier and a
pin and fed them to pkinit would be a great idea though.
