What would it be checking against? There's no central signing authority the way there is with Windows. (I mean I guess a distro could implement that but then how would I load my own custom modules?)

The kernel provides the option to embed a signing key for kernel modules at compile time. But (AFAIK) you'll need to compile your own kernel to go that route.
