Subject: [PATCH RFC v2 0/4] Add firmware signature file check

Hi,

this is the revised patches I sent in this week for adding the
firmware signing support.  No big changes in the code but a bit of
clean ups and more descriptions in changelog and comments now.

At this point, it still needs to have a proper Kconfig help text, and
move the stuff of CONFIG_MODULE_SIG to be indepdent from CONFIG_MODULE
so that the code required for signature checks can be built for the
firmware loader even without module.

But, before doing that, I'd like to hear whether this approach is
really a way to go, or better to throw away and scratch.

Any suggests / comments appreciated.

thanks,

Takashi
