Why do these ones not have "template=ima-modsig" on the end?

This seems like kind of a hack, doesn't it? :)

What we really want is three sets of rules isn't it? But some of them
are shared between the different sets. But they just have to be flat
arrays of strings.

I think it would probably be cleaner to just use a #define for the
shared part of the rules, eg something like:

#ifdef CONFIG_MODULE_SIG_FORCE
#define APPRAISE_MODULE
#else
#define APPRAISE_MODULE \
	"appraise func=MODULE_CHECK appraise_flag=check_blacklist appraise_type=imasig|modsig",
#endif

#define APPRAISE_KERNEL \
	"appraise func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK appraise_flag=check_blacklist appraise_type=imasig|modsig"

#define MEASURE_KERNEL \
	"measure func=KEXEC_KERNEL_CHECK"

#define MEASURE_MODULE \
	"measure func=MODULE_CHECK"

#define APPEND_TEMPLATE_IMA_MODSIG		\
	" template=ima-modsig"

static const char *const secure_and_trusted_rules[] = {
	MEASURE_KERNEL APPEND_TEMPLATE_IMA_MODSIG,
	MEASURE_MODULE APPEND_TEMPLATE_IMA_MODSIG,
	APPRAISE_KERNEL,
	APPRAISE_MODULE
	NULL
};

static const char *const secure_rules[] = {
	APPRAISE_KERNEL,
	APPRAISE_MODULE
	NULL
};

static const char *const trusted_rules[] = {
	MEASURE_KERNEL,
	MEASURE_MODULE,
	NULL
};

Those is_foo() routines print each time they're called don't they? So on
a system with only trusted boot I think that will print:

	secureboot mode disabled
	secureboot mode disabled
	trustedboot mode enabled

Which is a bit verbose :)
