Exactly.

For CONFIG_LOAD_UEFI_KEYS and CONFIG_IMA_SECURE_AND_OR_TRUSTED_BOOT, the
former depends on CONFIG_EFI while the latter is implied by the same, so

  integrity-$(CONFIG_EFI) += secureboot.o

should be enough. I've compile-tested the V3 on x86/arm64/powerpc/s390,
with various config combinations as much as I can think of. Let's see if
the kernel test robot could find out some corner cases.
