IMA has dependencies on the platform_certs/ and now on the new .machine
keyring.  Just adding "F: security/integrity/platform_certs/" to the
KEYS/KEYRINGS record, ignores that dependency.  The discussion wouldn't
even be on the linux-integrity mailing list.

Existing requirement:
- The keys on the .platform keyring are limited to verifying the kexec
image.

New requirements based on Eric Snowbergs' patch set:
- When IMA_KEYRINGS_PERMIT_SIGNED_BY_BUILTIN_OR_SECONDARY is enabled,
the MOK keys will not be loaded directly onto the .machine keyring or
indirectly onto the .secondary_trusted_keys keyring.

- Only when a new IMA Kconfig explicitly allows the keys on the
.machine keyrings, will the CA keys stored in MOK be loaded onto the
.machine keyring.

Unfortunately I don't think there is any choice, but to define a new
MAINTAINERS entry.  Perhaps something along the lines of:

KEYS/KEYRINGS_INTEGRITY
M:     Jarkko Sakkinen <jarkko at kernel.org>
M:     Mimi Zohar <zohar at linux.ibm.com>
L:      keyrings at vger.kernel.org
L:      linux-integrity at vger.kernel.org
F:      security/integrity/platform_certs

thanks,

Mimi
