Please add an example of how to blacklist a file with an appended
signature.  The simplest example that works on x86 as well as Power
would be blacklisting a kernel module.  The example should include
calculating the kernel module hash without the appended signature,
enabling the Kconfig option (CONFIG_SYSTEM_BLACKLIST_HASH_LIST), and
the blacklist hash format (eg. "bin:<file hash>").

thanks,
