    I've found that disabling CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED makes the
BUG message go away; maybe that's what you're missing?

    I've also attached my .config -- but it has lots of stuff turned
on, so it may be faster to try flipping CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED on a
slimmer config, if you'd like.

    Disabling IMA doesn't change the message; it's still there.

    Thanks!
