def get_rsa_key(path, passphrase):
    '''
    Read a private key off the disk.  Poor man's simple cache in effect here,
    we memoize the result of calling _get_rsa_with_evict.  This means the first
    time _get_key_with_evict is called with a path and a timestamp the result
    is cached.  If the file (the private key) does not change then its
    timestamp will not change and the next time the result is returned from the
    cache.  If the key DOES change the next time _get_rsa_with_evict is called
    it is called with different parameters and the fn is run fully to retrieve
    the key from disk.
