Sorry if I was unclear.  dm-verity is widely used, including by all Android and
Chrome OS devices.  But this patch is about dm-verity's in-kernel signature
verification which is an optional sub-feature that is not widely used.  That
sub-feature is apparently difficult to test and not clearly specified, which is
why people seem to be struggling a bit with this patch.
