Looks good. Just minor comments below. Nevertheless:

When you include <linux/kexec.h>, there's no need anymore for the
`struct kimage` forward declaration so you can remove it.

This patch introduces a slight behaviour change on powerpc when
CONFIG_IMA isn't set: since remove_ima_buffer() is now defined,
kexec_file_load() will remove the IMA kexec buffer when creating the FDT
for the next kernel. Before this patch, it will leave it there.
I think it's actually an improvement since a stale IMA kexec buffer
isn't useful and just wastes memory. This should be mentioned on the
commit message.

Same comment as before: remove the `extern` keyword.
