Dear Michal,


Thank you for the patch.

patforms → platforms

How can this be tested?

So, what is the takeaway for the user? IMA_ARCH_POLICY is preferred? 
What is the disadvantage, and two implementations(?) needed then? More 
overhead?

Use size_t to match the signature of `verify_pkcs7_signature()`?
