Sure, I will make the three changes above in the next round.

I'll change that in the next round and remove the #ifdef completely from within this 
function.  I'll add a clean up patch first that removes this same pattern elsewhere
in the file.  I think I see how the goto can be removed now.  And I'll also take care 
of the case where the kernel is built without the platform keyring enabled.  Which I
now see is a problem with this current version. Thanks.
