It's kernel code executing in userspace.  If you don't trust the
signed code you don't trust the signed code.

Nothing is magic about a piece of code executing in userspace.

I seriously think this dicussion is trying to create an issue
that simply doesn't exist in reality.

If some kernel module executed "/bin/sh" it's the same problem.
There is no way to argue around this, so please stop doing so
it's silly.
