Subject: Re: [PATCH] integrity: Always reference the blacklist keyring with
 apprasial

Prior to the above change, keys could be revoked.  Finer granularity
was added based on file hash to block loading a specific kexec kernel
image on powerpc.

My concern back then with making this generic was scalability and
performance.

Agreed, support for finer revocaton granularity based on file hash is
needed.

Please update the "case Opt_appraise_flag:" and remove "appraise_flag="
in the powerpc arch specific policy rules.
