Hello Andrew,

You have in the -mm tree a version of the "kexec handover buffer" and "ima
carry measurement list" patches that were NAKed by Eric Biederman. I would
just like to double-check that there's no risk of that version reaching
v4.9.

Mimi posted v5 of a merged patch set that addresses Eric's concern:

There are no separate kexec handover patches anymore. They were folded into
the series above. The kexec code is simplified now, it doesn't support
updating the buffer and recalculating the hash on reboot, and is now IMA-
specific instead of a generic kexec feature.
