A friendly ping here.

@AMD people:
Without this patch, in-kernel X.509 certificate verification is broken
on AMD CCP RSA implementation.

For example, loading wireless regulatory database gives the following
errors:

Kernel modules signature verification probably has similar problem, too.

That's why it would be nice if you could ack this patch, please.
