Subject: [PATCH v6 04/20] evm: add support for different security.evm data types

From: Dmitry Kasatkin <dmitry.kasatkin@...ia.com>

EVM protects a file's security extended attributes(xattrs) against integrity
attacks. The current patchset maintains an HMAC-sha1 value across the security
xattrs, storing the value as the extended attribute 'security.evm'. We
anticipate other methods for protecting the security extended attributes.
This patch reserves the first byte of 'security.evm' as a place holder for
the type of method.

Changelog v6:
- move evm_ima_xattr_type definition to security/integrity/integrity.h
- defined a structure for the EVM xattr called evm_ima_xattr_data
  (based on Serge Hallyn's suggestion)
