sde and loadiwkey

sde, starting with clean state, runs with a zero IWKey. While LOADIWKEY is a CPL0-only insn, sde allows its use even by applications it runs for emulation. My question is whether this is intentional, to allow overcoming the "clean initial state" restriction, and hence whether this behavior is intended to remain this way going forward. If it is not, I'd like to ask for recommendations on how to put a non-zero IWKey in place.

Yes, this is intentional. Currently, we have no plans to restrict it.
