Subject: [PATCH 4/4] module: Support to disable validity enforcement in runtime

In order to disable the module validity enforcement, writing
a PKCS#7 signature corresponding the signed content '0' is
required. Given a simple way to archive this:

$ echo -n 0 > data
$ openssl smime -sign -nocerts -noattr -binary -in data \
    -inkey <system_trusted_key> -signer <cert> -outform der \
    -out data.sig

Note that the signing key must be a trust key located in
system trusted keyring. So even the root privilige cannot
simply disable the enforcement.
