With the new patchset "ima: kernel build support for loading the kernel
module signing key", there shouldn't be a difference when generating the
config file between MODULE_SIG and IMA_APPRAISE_MODSIG. Both prompt for

That patchset appears to be included in today's linux-next 2021-04-16.

with the 'make randconfig' command.
