This bug has been addressed in linux-next. Please refer to:

f06dd16a03f6f7f72fab4db03be36e28c28c6fd6 : IMA: Handle dentry_open 
failures
1a62e958fa4aaeeb752311b4f5e16b2a86737b23 : IMA: open all files O_LARGEFILE
04288f42033607099cebf5ca15ce8dcec3a9688b : integrity: ima audit 
dentry_open failure

The default policy in 2.6.30 measures all files open for read by root.
(So starting the VM as root will cause it to be read.)  This linux-next
patch changes the default behavior so that nothing is measured. 

5789ba3bd0a3cd20df5980ebf03358f2eb44fd67 :  IMA: Minimal IMA policy and 
boot param for TCB IMA policy
