The one for the bootloader is enabled by default and the one for the kernel is enabled by default in the GENERIC amd64 kernel.

Can you explain why that design point= was selected? Usually there is something signed with a private key that th= e public key can be used to verify instead of a direct comparison like this= to prevent disclosure of key material.

This is usu= ally done with a handler of some sort so the mountroot code can just call t= he generic handler. Can your code be restructured such that this is possibl= e?
