I really appreciate your testing.  Based on the recent
Documentation/maintainer/rebasing-and-merging.rst,  I'm trying not to
rebase patches already staged in linux-next.  Patches are first being
staged in the next-queued-testing branch.

FYI, I just posted a patch that adds IMA appended signature support to
test_kexec_file_load.sh.

thanks,

Mimi
