The patch looks really odd. And without the corresponding user of your
new functionality it is entirely unreviewable anyway.
Hi Christoph
ok, I will send it together with a patch for a not yet accepted
software, Integrity Policy Enforcement (IPE), that will be
the primary user of the introduced functionality.
Regarding the patch itself, could you please provide a more
detailed explanation?
Thanks
