The cover letter of this patchset summarizes it as "These patches add
ML-DSA module signing and RSASSA-PSS module signing."  Adding
KEYCTL_PKEY_VERIFY support for these algorithms would be a significant
new UAPI feature that would need its own justification and its own
documentation and test updates.

However, it was established pretty clearly in past discussions that
KEYCTL_PKEY_* are a mistake and basically exist only for backwards
compatibility with iwd.

So I don't understand why you're advocating for adding new features to
them.
