[PATCH 4/7] KEYS: Introduce a builtin root of trust key flag

From: Eric Snowberg
Date: Wed Apr 06 2022 - 12:28:01 EST


Some subsystems are interested in knowing if keys within a keyring could
be used as a foundation of a root of trust. Introduce a new builtin root
of trust key flag.

The first type of key to use this is X.509. When a X.509 certificate
is self signed, has the kernCertSign Key Usage set and contains the
CA bit set this new flag is set.
