The second sentence defines the current status.  The first sentence
describes the problem.  I would reverse the sentence order.

^measuring buffer -> buffer measurements

Does the above paragraph add anything new?  Instead describe the
problem.  Perhaps something like:

With the default template format, buffer measurements are added to the
measurement list, but do not include the buffer data, making it
difficult, if not impossible, to validate.  Including "ima-buf"
template records in the measurement list by default, should not impact
existing attestation servers without "ima-buf" template support.

When upstreaming a new type of measurement, including an example
provides how to validate the new template data.  Not every patch
description requires an example.

Good.

Normally a test follows the variable assignment, but in this case, the
check is being deferred in case there isn't a policy rule.

Instead of initializing the fields here, maybe it should be done in
ima_init_template()?  That would remove the deferred !template test in
process_buffer_measurement() and would also simplify this function.
