This option makes kernel signature verification mandatory for

- This option enforces signature verification at generic level.
- One needs to enable signature verification for type of kernel
- image being loaded to make sure it works. For example, enable
- bzImage signature verification option to be able to load and
- verify signatures of bzImage. Otherwise kernel loading will fail.
