there's no point in signing i386 grub and fwupd or
having a signed shim if we don't have a signed kernel.

Over the years I have seen a number of netbook or tablet-style PCs with 32-bit UEFI firmware and a 64-bit capable CPU, so they could boot with grub-efi-ia32 and an amd64 kernel. I do not remember if they supported secure boot though.
