It was designed but I don't believe it was implemented.

Note the qualifier "Currently" with "the segment keys may not be used 
to define memory". I think memory keys can be proxied with a little 
work. (If you are proxying across a network it could be a lot of 
work.) This aspect was even less implemented than the rest of the 
design.
