Since the IMA architecture specific policy rules were first
upstreamed, either enabling IMA_APPRAISE_BOOTPARAM or IMA_ARCH_POLICY
was permitted, but not both.  This Kconfig negates the assumptions on
which the CONFIG_IMA_ARCH_POLICY and the ima_appraise_signature() are
based without any indication of the ramifications.   This impacts the
kexec file syscall lockdown LSM assumptions as well.

A fuller, more complete explanation for needing "log" mode when secure
boot is enabled is required.
