Re: [RFC] EVM: Add support for portable signature format

Ok, thinking about this some more, I think I'm conflating two
independent things here. Whether the extended attributes and file
contents are modifiable is a matter of policy rather than something
that should be tied to the signature format, so I think the approach
that makes sense is to make the portable signatures immutable (as
previously discussed) and then allow userland to define a policy that
permits modification of the protected metadata. I'll split this up and
retest.
