"description" field in "struct key" is set to ".builtin_trusted_keys" 
for Built-In Trusted Keys keyring.

Similarly, for other keyrings such as .ima, .evm, .blacklist, 
.builtin_regdb_keys, etc.

With IMA policy set like above, the keyring to keyring number mapping 
can be set at IMA policy load.

My earlier point about mapping the "keyring" to "keyring number" at 
runtime (when the IMA hook is called) still needs to be done to know if 
the given keyring is in the policy or not.

void ima_post_key_create_or_update(struct key *keyring, struct key *key,
				   unsigned long flags, bool create)
