After manually applying the patch, the build is failing with the 
following error:

build failed with error "arch/powerpc/kexec/elf_64.o: In function 
`elf64_verify_sig':
/root/kernel/linus/linux/arch/powerpc/kexec/elf_64.c:160: undefined 
reference to `verify_appended_signature'"

I see it happened because I didn't have MODULE_SIG enabled. Enabling 
MODULE_SIG fixes it.

I wonder why not to add "depends on MODULE_SIG" rather than on 
MODULE_SIG_FORMAT.

Thanks & Regards,
