This should be further investigated!

Edit: One suspicion is that the DV doesn't handle the shared `kmac` interface properly. The sideload interface to the `kmac` is used twofold: Sideload a Key which the `kmac` can use for its own good and sideload a `DPE context` for either a new context derivation or for a key generation.
