Here's a set of patches that changes how keys are determined to be trusted - currently, that's a case of whether a key has KEY_FLAG_TRUSTED set upon it. A keyring can then have a flag set (KEY_FLAG_TRUSTED ONLY) that indicates that only keys with this flag set may be added to that keyring. Further, any time an X.509 certificate is instantiated without this flag set, the certificate is judged against the contents of the system trusted keyring to determine whether KEY_FLAG_TRUSTED should be set upon it. With these patches, KEY_FLAG_TRUSTED is removed. The kernel may add implicitly trusted keys to a trusted-only keyring by asserting KEY_ALLOC_TRUSTED when the key is created, but otherwise the key will only be allowed to be added to the keyring if it can be verified by a key already in that keyring. The system trusted keyring is not then special in this sense and other trusted keyrings can be set up that are wholly independent of it. To make this work, we have to retain sufficient data from the X.509 certificate that we can then verify the signature at need.
