To answer my own question, yes it depends on the series at [1] which
adds IMA support. Turns out actually reading the cover letter helps,
who knew.

That said, I'm still not entirely sure about this. The implementation
of is_powerpc_secvar_supported() in [2] parses the DT and seems to
assume the DT bindings that OPAL produces. Are those common with the
DT bindings produced by OF when running on pseries?
