You are welcome.

What may be a bit problematic is the fact that between the time the 
buffer for the flattened IMA log is allocated (kexec 'load') and the 
time it is filled (kexec 'exec') that the log may grow quite a bit. I 
would say that the size of the growths may depend a lot on how people 
are using their system that the additional kilobytes  may or may not be 
enough. So a distro would probably have to specify additional bytes to 
allocate for like the worst case. But how many kilobytes is the worst case?
