It's not dependent on DM-Verity, that's just one possible integrity
verification mechanism, and one of two supported in this initial
version. The other is 'boot_verified' for a verified or otherwise trusted
rootfs. Future versions will support FS-Verity, at least.

IPE was designed to be extensible in this way, with a strong separation of
mechanism and policy.

Whatever is implemented for NFS should be able to plug in to IPE pretty
easily.
