It's not dependent on DM-Verity, that's just one possible integrity 
verification mechanism, and one of two supported in this initial 
version. The other is 'boot_verified' for a verified or otherwise trusted 
rootfs. Future versions will support FS-Verity, at least.

IPE was designed to be extensible in this way, with a strong separation of 
mechanism and policy.

Whatever is implemented for NFS should be able to plug in to IPE pretty 
easily.
