Right. Given the fact that signed_only things work only for appraise, it
probably is better to extend ima_appraise= command line option.

I just wrote something based on linus tree. That is introduce
ima_appraise=enforce_labeled_only.

But I would look at your next branch and try introducing
imasig_signed_only.

In the mean time here is the patch I used. I can now boot my unlabeled
system with "ima_appraise_tcb" and "ima_appraise=enforce_labeled_only".

But somehow my system has slowed down significantly and I can feel
slow boot as well as slow file operations on terminal.

Thanks
Vivek
