If we regard kexec as a bootloader, it sounds natural to use the
platform key to verify the signature with kexec_file_load syscall.

It will be hard for user to manually sign a kernel and import the key
then to reuse kexec_file_load.

I think we do not care if platform key can be added to secondary or not,
any suggestions how can kexec_file to use the platform key?
