Right, but both arches (powerpc and x86) using specific arch policies
only add it in case secure and/or trusted boot are enabled. That's why I
considered enclosing the whole arch_policy loading in the secure/trusted
boot checking there. I would say that a fine-grained check for which
action the rules have can be added later, in a separate patchset.

Well pointed. I built a custom x86 kernel with some workaround to get
this flag status within default_appraise_setup() and as a result the
flag is was correctly available. 

Considering the nature of this flag (platform's firmware (in all
arches?)) can we trust that every arch supporting secure/trusted boot
will have it available in the __setup() call time?

Hmm.. do you mean the comment wording is wrong/"could be better",
pointing the "appraise" action explicitly?
