IMA does not need any particular patching inside of their subtree to
support new hash, because it is using any hash registered in Hash Info
which is still under crypto subtree. I added appropriate patch into v3
which is already posted a week ago, and tested it to work correctly with
ima_appraise=fix.

Thanks,
