Subject: Re: [PATCH] IMA: Use the system trusted keyrings instead of .ima_mok (update)

Looking in digsig.c, I see:

	#ifdef CONFIG_INTEGRITY_TRUSTED_KEYRING
	static bool init_keyring __initdata = true;
	#else
	static bool init_keyring __initdata;
	#endif

Since this doesn't ever appear to be altered, should integrity_init_keyring()
just be made conditionally compiled?
