[RFC 5/5] initramfs: Enforce initramfs signature

From: Jeremy Linton
Date: Tue Oct 15 2024 - 18:23:55 EST


Now that the infrastructure is in place to verify and sign initramfs
images, let's refuse them if the signature is invalid. Additionally, a
command-line option `initrdsig=[enforcing|checking]` is provided to
switch between failing to boot or reporting signature failures.
