  To: David Howells; +Cc: linux-kernel, kexec, Thadeu Lima de Souza Cascardo

If CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG is enabled, kexec -s with an unsigned image will
fail requiring an image signed with a trusted key. However, that same
kernel will allow kexec to load and boot a kernel, if kexec_file_load is
not used.

Now, lockdown brings a solution to this inconsistency. However, as it is,
it will still prevent an unsigned image to be loaded with kexec -s when the
system is not under lockdown, while still allowing kexec to work.

At the same time, with lockdown, kexec_file_load would still work when
CONFIG_KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG is disabled.
