I am a little confused about this ARCH_SELECTS_XX adding. Wondering what
limits us defining the ARCH_SUPPORTS_KEXEC_FILE like below? I have limited
knowledge about Kconfig, please correct me if I am wrong. Thanks in
advance.

-	  This option makes the kexec_file_load() syscall check for a valid
-	  signature of the kernel image.  The image can still be loaded without
-	  a valid signature unless you also enable KEXEC_SIG_FORCE, though if
-	  there's a signature that we can check, then it must be valid.

-	  verification for the corresponding kernel image type being
-	  loaded in order for this to work.
