This patch set originally had a dependency on Nayna's v1 & v2 "ima:
kernel build support for loading the kernel module signing key" patch
set and on Herbert's "ecc" branch.  With v3, the dependency on Nayna's
patch set is gone.

Jarkko, David, Herbert did you want to pick up this patch set or would
you prefer that I did?  Either way is fine.

thanks,

Mimi
