If realistically expected is really just two helpers, what speaks against a
bpf_verify_signature_pkcs7() and bpf_verify_signature_pgp() in that case, for
sake of better user experience?

Maybe one other angle.. if CONFIG_SYSTEM_DATA_VERIFICATION is enabled, it may
not be clear whether verify_pkcs7_signature() or a verify_pgp_signature() are
both always builtin. And then, we run into the issue again of more complex probing
for availability of the algs compared to simple ...

#if defined(CONFIG_SYSTEM_DATA_VERIFICATION) && defined(CONFIG_XYZ)
	case BPF_FUNC_verify_signature_xyz:
		return ..._proto;
#endif

... which bpftool and others easily understand.

check_helper_mem_access() has:

      /* Allow zero-byte read from NULL, regardless of pointer type */
      if (zero_size_allowed && access_size == 0 &&
          register_is_null(reg))
              return 0;

So NULL/0 pair can be passed. Maybe good to add these corner cases to the test_progs
selftest additions then if it's needed.
