to me the s390 part looks good but for one minor nit.

In arch/s390/Kconfig KEXEC_VERIFY_SIG currently depends on
SYSTEM_DATA_VERIFICATION. I'd prefer when you update this to the new
MODULE_SIG_FORMAT. It shouldn't make any difference right now, as we don't
use mod_check_sig in our code path. But it could cause problems in the future,
when more code might be shared.

Thanks
Philipp
