Is there any feedback from block or LSM folk on the addition of a security 
blob for block_device here?

IPE uses this is to track the status of integrity verification of e.g. 
DM-Verity devices, per this code from a subsequent patch:


+       ret = security_bdev_setsecurity(dm_table_get_md(v->ti->table)->bdev,
+                                       DM_VERITY_SIGNATURE_SEC_NAME,
+                                       v->sig->sig, v->sig->sig_size);
