How about simply saying, Commit "...." introduced a platform keyring
for storing preboot keys, used for verifying the kexec kernel image's
signature.

The above statement is too generic.  Please replace "and makes it 
useable for other components" with " keyring, making it accessible for
verifying a PE signed kernel image".
