Re: [PATCH v14 2/6] powerpc: Move arch independent ima kexec functions to drivers/of/kexec.c

Lakshmi Ramasubramanian [off-list ref] writes:

The functions defined in "arch/powerpc/kexec/ima.c" handle setting up
and freeing the resources required to carry over the IMA measurement
list from the current kernel to the next kernel across kexec system call.
These functions do not have architecture specific code, but are
currently limited to powerpc.

Move setup_ima_buffer() call into of_kexec_setup_new_fdt() defined in
"drivers/of/kexec.c".

Move the remaining architecture independent functions from
"arch/powerpc/kexec/ima.c" to "drivers/of/kexec.c".
Delete "arch/powerpc/kexec/ima.c" and "arch/powerpc/include/asm/ima.h".
Remove references to the deleted files in powerpc and in ima.
