Applied to v2, thanks for correcting me! Btw, I realize I overwrote the
return code of kexec_image_verify_sig with
mandate_signature_verification's. v2 has fixed this issue as well.

And thanks for the review!

You're welcome.

Without either IMA_ARCH or KEXEC_SIG enabled, the kexec selftest
test_kexec_file_load.sh properly failed with "kexec_file_load failed
[PASS]", but from the informational messages output, it isn't clear why
it failed.  This should be corrected.

Thanks for the suggestion! I've added some tests in v3 and now the
message is "# kexec_file_load failed (missing IMA sig) [PASS]".
