Defining arch_ima_add_kexec_buffer() function, as static, here in
ima_kexec.c is weird. For this reason, I specifically asked Thiago to
look at it. Thanks, Thiago, for looking and reviewing the rest of the
patch set. Duplicating the code or defining it in drivers/of, doesn't
make sense either. As Thiago suggested, define it here until there is
a reason to move it.
thanks,
Mimi
