Indeed. The #ifdef added by Jonathan is redundant. Not sure if the
original IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_HAVE_IMA_KEXEC) checking inside
ima_{get,free}_kexec_buffer() is intended. I ever reviewed below patch,
the IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_XX) inside static function will make the function
compiled, and will be optimized out if the CONFIG_XX is not enabled.
However, it only has effect on static function. Here,
ima_{get,free}_kexec_buffer() is not static, likely we should remove the
inside IS_ENABLED() checking.

    x86/setup: use IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE) instead of #ifdef
    
    Replace the conditional compilation using "#ifdef CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE" by a
    check for "IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE)", to simplify the code and
    increase compile coverage.

Other than this one Mimi pointed out, this patch looks good to me, thx.
