My beef is #2, which is what I want to see solved. If there's a million
people using Fedora, and 2 people use IMA, that's an awful lot of bytes
that could be otherwise used.

I think it should be entirely opt in, with a CONFIG_IMA_DEFAULT_ON or
something like we do for security hooks.

Anyway, If you can address #2, then I'm happy having it enabled. If it's
taken us this long to notice the impact, then it doesn't seem to be
all that large in the general case, and if it can be reduced, then that
should make everyone happy.
