No need to Cc David Howells on the entire patch set.  Just Cc him,
here, after your tag.

With this patch, keys are now being measured.  With the boot command
line, we can verify the measurement entry against /proc/cmdline.  How
can the key measurement entry be verified?  Please include that
information, here, in this patch description.

Also, can the key data, now included in the measurement list, be used
to verify signatures in the ima-sig or ima-modsig templates?  Is there
a way of correlating a signature with a key?  Perhaps include a
kselftest as an example.
