Not sure if the maintainers will agree with me (see below), but FWIW:

Both powerpc and arm64 use the definition above for
arch_ima_add_kexec_buffer(), so it makes sense to share them as you do
in this patch. This file isn't the best one to put arch-specific code
which happens to be identical among architectures, but I can't think of
somewhere else to put it.

For now this isn't an issue since powerpc and arm64 are the only arches
implementing tihs feature. If a third arch implemented it and also used
the same function definition as above, it wouldn't be an issue either so
perhaps this is good enough for the time being? :-)

With this patch, the `#include <asm/ima.h>` in
security/integrity/ima/ima.h can be removed. It was there just to
provide a declaration of arch_ima_add_kexec_buffer().
