Do you think we can split the IMA test out,
have a little shell script that does the loopback mount, gets the
FS UUID, updates the IMA policy and then runs a C program?

This would also allow "test_progs" to be independent of CONFIG_IMA.

I am guessing the structure would be something similar
to test_xdp_redirect.sh
