If you can add Andres Rodriguez <andresx7@gmail.com>, and Greg to your Cc list
in the future patches that'd be appreciated.

If you're going to add this perhaps FIRMWARE_FALLBACK_SYSFS as we may later
get FIRMWARE_FALLBACK_EFI.

From an IMA signature verification perspective, both are buffer based.
 The file signature is stored as a security xattr.  Without a file
descriptor, the kernel cannot verify the firmware signature.

I don't have a problem with defining another enumeration.  Perhaps
other LSMs will want to be able to differentiate between sysfs and EFI
fallback methods.
