Re: [RFC PATCH 1/1] KEYS, integrity: Link .platform keyring to .secondary_trusted_keys

Thanks for the explanation Dave, my second thought is to let kexec use
the platform keyring directly, that is let kexec verify the image with
secondary/builtin keyring first then try platform keyring. And better
to make platform keyring independent of integrity subsystem, so kexec
could verify the image and don't depend on integrity. Any thought?
