The kexec_file_load syscall can verify the PE signed kernel image
signature, the kernel image signature stored as an xattr, or both.

Anyone booting the system with the "appraise_tcb" policy or with a
similar appraise policy rule, wanting to only verifying the PE signed
kernel image, will need to include a "dont_appraise
func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK" rule in their custom policy.

There's no need to introduce the concept of "third party" or "firmware
keys" here.  Referring to them as the "preboot" keys, can simplify the
above paragraph.
