Huh?! With the "secure_boot" policy enabled on the boot command line,
IMA-appraisal would verify the kexec kernel image, firmware, kernel
modules, and custom IMA policy signatures. With the "ima: require
secure_boot rules in lockdown mode" patch, the "lockdown" mode would
enable IMA-appraisal's secure_boot policy, without requiring the boot
command line option. It would also add the secure_boot rules to the
custom policy, so that if the builtin policy is replaced with a custom
policy, the "secure_boot" policy would still be enforced.
Other patches in this patch series need to be updated as well to check
if IMA-appraisal is enabled.
