929ab8af2b Explain locations vs lifetimes
Locations aren't in the official PSA API specification yet (they've
only be made public in Mbed TLS). Until version 1.0.1 of the API
specification is out, this document needs to explain locations.

c1d388ae54 Change driver persistent data to a callback interface
Rather than have some functions take the in-memory copy of the
persistent data as argument, allow all of them to access the
persistent data, including modifying it.

8d06ad0177 Rework and expand key management in opaque drivers
Opaque drivers only have a destroy function if the key is stored in
the secure element.

Expand on how key creation works. Provide more explanations of
allocate_key in drivers for secure elements with storage. Discuss key
destruction as well.

b6c43f61a4 Call driver entry point functions "entry point"
Call the functions listed in the driver description "entry points".
It's more precise than "functions", which could also mean any C
function defined in the driver code.

Working draft of the PSA cryptography unified interface specification.
Eventually this document will be under Arm PSA architecture ownership,
but for the time being this draft is maintained in Mbed TLS.
