Power Non-Virtualised / OpenPower already supports secure boot via kexec
with signature verification via IMA. I think you have now sent a
follow-up series that merges some of the IMA implementation, I just
wanted to make sure it was clear that we actually already have support
for this in the kernel, it's just grub that is getting new support.

I am always in favour of fewer reimplementations of the same feature in
the kernel :)
