Signed modules is in, though, right? And the fact that we have CONFIG_SIGNED_PE_FILE_VERIFICATION means we're doing unatural file signatures w/o using ELF, which I thought was the basis of Linus's accusation that Red Hat was performing intimate/physical acts with Microsoft. :-)
I would have thought those were the nasty bits to get in; out of curiosity, what's still missing?
