These packages must be signed.
The kernel only ships with Amazon's public key, they do not include a MR_dev public key - so we get to add that to the kernel ourselves.
Common term: "Patch"
But in fact, will probably just be added to the source and the kernel rebuilt rather than done as a binary patch.
Since we also need this feature for the K3 "rescue kernel" ...
Since I own a K3 ...
Since I have done such things in the past ...
I may do it unless someone beats me to it.
Since I am nearly at the end of my three score and ten ...
Time is short here, so don't hold your breath for me to get it done.
