After making a few changes, the measurement list contains the
following kexec-cmdline data:

10 edc32d1e3a5ba7272280a395b6fb56a5ef7c78c3 ima-buf
sha256:4f43b7db850e

There's probably a better shell command, but the following works to
verify the digest locally against the /proc/cmdline:

$ echo -n -e `cat /proc/cmdline | sed 's/^.*root=/root=/'` | sha256sum
4f43b7db850e88c49dfeffd4b1eb4f021d78033dfb05b07e45eec8d0b4527f65  -

If we leave the "buf" field as ascii-hex, what would the shell command
look like when verifying the digest based on the "buf" field?
