So this function would perform some sort of !strcmp conversion between "user" 
and KEY_SPEC_USER_KEYRING?  That's fine I suppose.

Alternatively you can ignore that for now and if you really need to search 
keyrings that are not "standard", then one can introduce l_keyring_search() or 
something later.
