Thanks for updating. It would be great to tell why the problem is
met, then allow arm64 to use more system keyrings can solve it.

Meanwhile, I noticed Michal also posted a patchset to address the same
issue, while he tries to make it work on s390 too. Could you check and
consider if these two patches can be integrated?
