So if I'm reading this correctly, any module that fails signature
verification will fail to load.  That makes sense, but I wonder if you
intend to support a non-enforcing mode for module signatures at all?
Actually, a brief document in Documentation describing how this whole
mechanism works and what the fail states are would be good.  David's
patches have it nicely spelled out and I don't see anything similar in
your patch set.
