Since 'ima-modsig' is only needed for appended signatures (e.g. kexec
kernel image on powerpc, kernel modules) a per policy rule "template="
option was defined.  There's also the 'ima_template=' boot command line
option.   Between these two options, I didn't see the need for making
it a build time default option.  Do you?

The patch itself looks good. 

thanks,

Mimi
