    This patch adds support for signing a kernel module with a raw
    detached PKCS#7 signature/message.
    
    The signature is not converted and is simply appended to the module so
    it needs to be in the right format. Using openssl, a valid signature can
    be generated like this:
      $ openssl smime -sign -nocerts -noattr -binary -in <module> -inkey \
        <key> -signer <x509> -outform der -out <raw sig>
    
    The resulting raw signature from the above command is (more or less)
    identical to the raw signature that sign-file itself can produce like
    this:
      $ scripts/sign-file -d <hash algo> <key> <x509> <module>
