Yes, because I followed the same convention as used for system keyring 
certs. Following externs are defined in system_keyring.c for referencing 
variables defined in .S file.

extern __initconst const u8 system_certificate_list[];
extern __initconst const unsigned long system_certificate_list_size;
extern __initconst const unsigned long module_cert_size;
