Since phys_to_page is not defined on many/most architectures I change it for ppc64 and have successfully used the following:

+                               src_pages[i++] = virt_to_page(__va(src_page_addr))


After several kexecs the following check still works:

# evmctl ima_measurement --ignore-violations /sys/kernel/security/ima/binary_runtime_measurements
Matched per TPM bank calculated digest(s).
