The patch looks fine, but the patch description could use some
rewriting.
The IMA/EVM attributes are currently stored in the "security"
namespace, which requires root privileges. Storing the ima/evm
attributes in the "user" namespace, instead of the "security"
namespace, would be useful for testing purposes.
Please expand this: "and because --sigfile does not work for evm
signatures."
Conclude with, this patch defines the "--xattr-user" option for
testing.
