Well, it's not a strong need, but it's still relevant in the current
version. I use func_tokens in ima_read_modsig() in order to be able to
mention the hook name in mod_check_sig()'s error message:

In ima_read_modsig():

	rc = mod_check_sig(sig, buf_len, func_tokens[func]);

And in mod_check_sig():

		pr_err("%s: Module is not signed with expected PKCS#7 message\n",
		       name);

If you think it's not worth it to expose func_tokens, I can make
ima_read_modsig() pass a more generic const string such as "IMA modsig"
for example.

Nice!
