Currently only the builtin keys are on the system keyring, but once
David and Josh's UEFI patches are upstreamed, the UEFI keys will also be
on the system keyring. At that point, we would want to differentiate
between the builtin keys and the remaining keys on the system keyring.
Splitting this patch definitely helps clarify what's happening and, more
importantly, why.
