For development, this was fine. ÂYou were able to save and restore the
measurement list with the kexec hdr, but do we really need two
securityfs files, one for saving the measurement list and another for
restoring it? ÂJust like we can read and write the IMA policy, we
should be able to save and restore the kexec list using a single
securityfs file.

Calling a function named ima_read_policy() for restoring the
measurement list is unusual. ÂAgain, this was fine for development,
but to upstream this functionality it should be cleaned up. ÂNormally,
there would be a call to a common generic function from multiple
places.
