The fields ima_buffer_addr and ima_buffer_size in "struct kimage_arch"
for powerpc are used to carry forward the IMA measurement list across
kexec system call. These fields are not architecture specific, but are
currently limited to powerpc.

arch_ima_add_kexec_buffer() defined in "arch/powerpc/kexec/ima.c"
sets ima_buffer_addr and ima_buffer_size for the kexec system call.
This function does not have architecture specific code, but is
currently limited to powerpc.

Move ima_buffer_addr and ima_buffer_size to "struct kimage".
Rename arch_ima_add_kexec_buffer() to of_ima_add_kexec_buffer()
and move it in drivers/of/kexec.c.

There's nothing DT specific about this function, so this is the wrong
place for it. I would just remove it and directly set the members.

Will do.
