Commit fee3ff99bc67 (powerpc: Move arch independent ima kexec functions
to drivers/of/kexec.c) moved those functions to drivers/of/kexec.c as a
more generic implementation so that ARM64 could use them too.

I think for platforms that use device tree that's the way to go, but the
functions to generically set + get the IMA buffer for non device tree
systems were useful enough to put in the IMA code rather than being x86
specific. If you disagree I can move them under arch/x86/ (assuming the
x86 folk agree using setup_data is the right way to go, I haven't seen
any of them comment on this approach yet).

x86 *can* have device tree enabled, but the only platform I'm aware that
did it was OLPC and I haven't seen any of the distros enable it. I put
this in so there's a warning if we have CONFIG_OF enabled on x86 and
tried to pass the IMA log via setup_data. Can remove (or fold into the
x86 code if we go that way).
