Initial implementation used detached PGP signature, and has absolutely
nothing to do with EFI. Later verification framework was generalized and
signature verification using shim protocol on EFI was implemented.

So signature check based on shim protocol is supported only on EFI
simply because it is EFI specific. Signature check in general is
supported on any platform but the only generic method is detached PGP
signature.
