IMA currently allocates half a PAGE_SIZE for the extra events that would
be measured between kexec 'load' and 'execute'. Depending on the IMA
policy and the system state, that memory may not be sufficient to hold
the extra IMA events measured after kexec 'load'. The memory
requirements vary from system to system and they should be configurable.
Define a Kconfig option, IMA_KEXEC_EXTRA_PAGES, to configure the number
of extra pages to be allocated for IMA measurements added in the window
from kexec 'load' to kexec 'execute'.
Update ima_add_kexec_buffer() function to allocate memory based on the
Kconfig option value, rather than the currently hardcoded one.

On ppc64 a page is 64kb. I would ask for additional kb here.
Not sure I understand. Do you mean I should make the default value of
the config IMA_KEXEC_EXTRA_PAGES 64 or something?
In code, I multiply the config value with PAGE_SIZE. So more memory
would be allocated on ppc64 for given default config value. Could you
please clarify what change you are suggesting here?
