Thanks for looking at commit 9ec4ecef0af7 for me!

Although commit 9ec4ecef0af7 added some code in arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig
so kexec_file_ops->verify_sig can be called, this commit doesn't add __weak
arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig itself. And kexec_file_ops isn't supposed
to replace arch-specific implementation using __weak considering s390 and x86
still make use of __weak to implement its own version of 
arch_kexec_apply_relocations_add. How about the commit message as
follows?

   Currently this no arch-specific implementation of
   arch_kexec_kernel_verify_sig. Even if we want to add an implementation
   for an architecture in the future, we can simply use "(struct
   kexec_file_ops*)->verify_sig". So clean it up.
