OK, so no any dracut / initramfs involved :).
Passing variables really works as expected, you need to export it first:
$ sudo su
# export IMA_KEXEC_IMAGE=/tmp/foo
# PATH="/opt/ltp/testcases/bin:$PATH" runltp ...
or just run the script directly:
$ sudo su
# IMA_KEXEC_IMAGE=/tmp/foo PATH="/opt/ltp/testcases/bin:$PATH" ima_kexec.sh
