Key Security: Zeroing Buffers Is Insufficient (AES-NI leaves keys in SSE registers)

The article "Zeroing Buffers Is Insufficient" describes how AES-NI can leave keys in SSE registers for long periods of time. (It also describes issues with temporary variables on the stack, and in other registers.)

Is there a way we can semi-portably fix this?

To upload designs, you'll need to enable LFS and have an admin enable hashed storage. More information
