Subject: i386-pc: build verifiers API as module
Given no core functions on i386-pc would require verifiers to work and
the only consumer of the verifier API is the pgp module, it looks good
to me that we can move the verifiers out of the kernel image and let
moddep.lst to auto-load it when pgp is loaded on i386-pc platform.
This helps to reduce the size of core image and thus can relax the
tension of exploding on some i386-pc system with very short MBR gap
size. See also a very comprehensive summary from Colin [1] about the
details.
[1] https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/grub-devel/2021-03/msg00240.html
V2:
Drop COND_NOT_i386_pc and use !COND_i386_pc.
Add comment in kern/verifiers.c to help understanding what's going on
without digging into the commit history.
