Whoa, no way.
There are two methods for the kernel to verify firmware signatures.
?If both are enabled, do we require both signatures or is one enough.
Assigning a different id for regdb signed firmware allows LSMs and IMA
to handle regdb files differently.

Why could IMA not appriase these files? They are part of the standard path.
The subsequent patch attempts to verify the IMA-appraisal signature,
but on failure it falls back to allowing regdb signatures. ?For
systems that only want to load firmware based on IMA-appraisal, then
regdb wouldn't be enabled.
