Hi Roberto,
Sorry for the delay in reviewing these patches. Missing from this
patch set is a cover letter with an explanation for grouping these
patches into a patch set, other than for convenience. In this case, it
would be along the lines that the original use case for EVM portable
and immutable keys support was for a few critical files, not combined
with an EVM encrypted key type. This patch set more fully integrates
the initial EVM portable and immutable signature support.
