I know this is pretty late, but I just wanted to let you know that I
tested this patch set on x86_64 with QEMU.
That is, I enrolled a key to _ima keyring, signed my kernel and modules
with appended signatures (with scripts/sign-file), set the IMA policy to
appraise and measure my kernel and modules. Also tested kexec appraisal.
You can add my tested-by if you'd like.

I really appreciate your testing. Based on the recent
Documentation/maintainer/rebasing-and-merging.rst, I'm trying not to
rebase patches already staged in linux-next. Patches are first being
staged in the next-queued-testing branch.
FYI, I just posted a patch that adds IMA appended signature support to
test_kexec_file_load.sh.
thanks,
Mimi
