This Kconfig carries the IMA measurement list across kexec. This has
nothing to do with appended signatures.
config IMA_KEXEC
bool "Enable carrying the IMA measurement list across a soft
boot"
depends on IMA && TCG_TPM && HAVE_IMA_KEXEC
In addition to powerpc, arm64 sets HAVE_IMA_KEXEC.
Even prior to the kexec appended signature support, like all other
files, the kexec kernel image signature could be stored in
security.ima.

The kexec kernel image measurement will not be included in the BIOS
event log. Even if the measurement is included in the IMA measurement
list, without the IMA_KEXEC Kconfig the measurement list will not be
carried across kexec. For those not interested in "trusted boot" or
those who do not need it for compliance, the simplification should be
fine.
