SubjectRe: [PATCH] Fix kexec forbidding kernels signed with custom platform keys to boot

Hi Yannik,

I am reading that bug and wondering that what broke it. It used to work,
so some change broke it.

Justin said that we have been signing fedora kernels with fedora keys so
looks like no change there.

Previously, I think all the keys used to go in system keyring and it
used to work. Is it somehow because of split in builtin keyring and
secondary system keyring. Could it be that fedora key used to show
up in system keyring previously and it worked but now it shows up
in secondary system keyring and by default we don't use keys from
that keyring for signature verification?

Thanks
Vivek
