          This option makes kernel signature verification mandatory for
-         kexec_file_load() syscall. If kernel is signature can not be
-         verified, kexec_file_load() will fail.
-
-         This option enforces signature verification at generic level.
-         One needs to enable signature verification for type of kernel
-         image being loaded to make sure it works. For example, enable
-         bzImage signature verification option to be able to load and
-         verify signatures of bzImage. Otherwise kernel loading will fail.
+         the kexec_file_load() syscall.
+
+         In addition to that option, you need to enable signature
+         verification for the corresponding kernel image type being
+         loaded in order for this to work.
