[RFC][PATCH] ima: add default rule for initramfs files

[Roberto Sassu]

This patch modifies the default policy shipped with IMA, in order to avoid measurements
of files in the initial ramdisk. Those files can be measured early in the boot process
by the bootloader.
The patch applies to latest version of the mainline kernel 2.6.35-rc4.
