We would have to duplicate the logic to check if an EVM key is loaded, if the passed xattr is a POSIX ACL, ... I think it is better to set a flag, maybe a new one, directly in EVM, to notify the integrity subsystem that iint->evm_status is no longer valid. If the EVM flag is set, IMA would reset the appraisal flags, as it uses iint->evm_status for appraisal. We can consider to reset also the measure flags when we have a template that includes file metadata.
