I'm referring to introducing the "measure_payload_hash" flag.  I assume
this is to indicate whether the buffer should be hashed or not.  

Example 1: ima_alloc_key_entry() and ima_alloc_data_entry(0 comparison

Example 2:

But in general, as much as possible function and file name changes
should be done independently of other changes.
