Yes it is.

Also it has been pointed out to me now that debian is already applying
a variation of this bugfix at

https://salsa.debian.org/kernel-team/linux/-/blob/master/debian/patches/features/all/db-mok-keyring/0002-MODSIGN-load-blacklist-from-MOKx.patch

The path there is similar to mine, but passes the various static
values as args without a struct. Which looks clean enough.

I can do a variation of a rebased patch similar to what Ben is already
applying in Debian. I reached out to them, and they are not interested
in upstreaming this themselves right now.
