I believe it is still needed. If someone were to use the same config as the build bot, 
where ASYMMETRIC_PUBLIC_KEY_SUBTYPE is not defined and 
INTEGRITY_MACHINE_KEYRING is not defined, they would still hit the problem that 
has now been fixed in  "KEYS: Create static version of public_key_verify_signature”. 

I wish the first two patches in this series would be accepted, since I’m only carrying 
them to get past the build bot.
