On systems without a TPM, IMA goes into a "by-pass" mode, which stores
the measurements without extending the TPM PCR.  On Power, there isn't a
HW TPM, but on Power running PowerVM there is a virtual TPM(vTPM).  On
Power running PowerKVM there isn't support for vTPM, yet.  The Kconfig
needs to differentiate between the two.

Sorry, I'm still waiting to hear back from the developers/testers.
