OpenStack has a need for key management where I think KMIP makes perfect sense (see the first diagram at https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/VolumeEncryption for a few more details of one place KMIP could be used).

Intel is planning to post a (very TPM-centric) blueprint and dedicate resources to building the Key Manager for the next (Havana) release. If no one challenges the write up it will most likely be the default implementation for Openstack and difficult to get changes (such as KMIP support) made. See https://wiki.openstack.org/wiki/KeyManager

The link that Subhash was talking about on the call with comments based on review of the usage guide.
