My use case requires unattended booting and never storing the keyfiles 
on the disks to which they correspond so that, in the event of a disk 
failure, it can be recycled or sent back to the OEM safely.

AFAIK the userkey files have to be on the same filesystem as the loader, 
which, for this use case, requires /boot be separate?
