I'm having a hard time understanding the middle part of this
paragraph, specifically the part of the key and the hash result.
There's a typo in the subject too s/siging/signing/and "Generating"
should be "Generate".

I'd really like to see some of the explanation from your cover letter
included in the commit message for this patch, and in particular why
signing hibernate images is a good thing.

Recording that for posterity in the commit message is going to be
helpful when someone looks at this patch in 2 years time and wonders
why RNG support was added to the EFI stub and why they might want to
sign hibernate images.

Tiny nit, but could you put a new line here please? This is a large
chunk of code.

Hmm.. it's not clear to me that we should be deleting this EFI
variable if the attributes are bogus. It would be safer to just bail.

You're leaking 'keys' here.

Have you given any thought to how things are going to work if we
change the hash function in the future, or provide a choice? That
information doesn't appear anywhere in the above struct.
