That was my understanding as well considering commits  
5ea8176994003483a18c8fed580901e2125f8a83 and  
23db764d3db5a4bb1e104ad9310e5dc18e4ffa1b  
  
so the patch below should be correct... Geert, Roman?

Subject: [PATCH] Make check_signature() depend on CONFIG_HAS_IOMEM

From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@...ibm.com>

check_signature() uses readb() and therefore should only be build on
CONFIG_HAS_IOMEM.

Otherwise breaks s390:
lib/check_signature.c: In function `check_signature':
lib/check_signature.c:19: error: implicit declaration of function `readb'
