Yes, this is not right.  Ideally we would be signing modules on all
architectures, but currently we don't do that.  We should configure the
kernel not to expect signatures on other architectures, but these
settings have got out of sync.

This was broken and then fixed once before, so I'm merging this with
the earlier report and noting the version where this seems to have
regressed.
