On the OpenPOWER platform, secure boot and trusted boot are being
implemented using IMA for taking measurements and verifying signatures.
I still want you to implement arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig() as well :)
Yes, I will implement it! We are still working on loading the public
keys for kernel signing from the firmware into a kernel keyring, so
there's not much point in implementing arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig
without having that first.

The same problem also affects IMA: even with these patches, new code
still neededs to be added to make IMA use the platform keys for kernel
signature verification.
