The current policy management makes it impossible to use IPE in a general purpose distribution. In such cases the users are not building the kernel, the distribution is, and access to the private key included in the trusted keyring is, for obvious reason, not available. This means that users have no way to enable IPE, since there will be no built-in generic policy, and no access to the key to sign updates validated by the trusted keyring. Just as we do for dm-verity, kernel modules and more, allow the secondary and platform keyrings to also validate policies. This allows users enrolling their own keys in UEFI db or MOK to also sign policies, and enroll them. This makes it sensible to enable IPE in general purpose distributions, as it becomes usable by any user wishing to do so. Keys in these keyrings can already load kernels and kernel modules, so there is no security downgrade. Add a kconfig each, like dm-verity does, but default to enabled if the dependencies are available.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the reStructuredText markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
