Thanks for the suggestion! I notice KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG depends 
on SIGNED_PE_FILE_VERIFICATION and selects SYSTEM_TRUSTED_KEYRING. So 
maybe SIGNED_PE_FILE_VERIFICATION could do the job of 
CONFIG_KEXEC_PEFILE_VERIFY_SIG. And arch/arm64/Kconfig also have 
KEXEC_IMAGE_VERIFY_SIG. So maybe it's better we don't keep
CONFIG_KEXEC_BZIMAGE_VERIFY_SIG.
