Notice how "kexec/ima.o" is only included if the architecture supports
it and IMA is configured.  In addition only if CONFIG_IMA_KEXEC is
configured, is the IMA measurement list carried across kexec.  After
moving the rest of ima.c to drivers/of/kexec.c, this changes.   Notice
how drivers/of/Kconfig includes kexec.o:

obj-$(CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE) += kexec.o

It is not dependent on CONFIG_HAVE_IMA_KEXEC.  Shouldn't all of the
functions defined in ima.c being moved to kexec.o be defined within a
CONFIG_HAVE_IMA_KEXEC ifdef?

thanks,

Mimi
