Hello,
This is a refresh of the KEXEC_SIG series.
This adds KEXEC_SIG support on powerpc and deduplicates the code dealing
with appended signatures in the kernel.
powerpc supports IMA_KEXEC but that's an exception rather than the norm.
On the other hand, KEXEC_SIG is portable across platforms.
For distributions to have uniform security features across platforms one
option should be used on all platforms.
Thanks
Michal
