Re: [PATCH v7 13/17] KEYS: link secondary_trusted_keys to machine trusted keys

[Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.ibm.com>]

Hi Eric,

Is the subject line left over from the original patch?   Shouldn't it
be "link machine trusted keys to secondary_trusted_keys".

In general is the ordering of the patches "bisect safe"[1]?  Only in
the next patch is machine_trusted_keys set.   In this case, either
merge the two patches or reverse their order.
