I noticed that in lib/Makefile, there's this:

[scameron@localhost linux-3.4-rc1]$ grep CHECK_SIG lib/Makefile
obj-$(CONFIG_CHECK_SIGNATURE) += check_signature.o
[scameron@localhost linux-3.4-rc1]$

although I don't see an '#if CONFIG_CHECK_SIGNATURE' in include/linux/io.h

Does there need to be a "select CHECK_SIGNATURE" added into
in drivers/block/Kconfig in this area?

config BLK_CPQ_CISS_DA
        tristate "Compaq Smart Array 5xxx support"
        depends on PCI
        help

Or is this dependency handled in some way I'm just not seeing?
