Resending my last response as looks like it didn't go through mailing 
list because of some wrong formatting. My apologies to those who are 
receiving it twice.

Since powerpc also supports IMA_ARCH_POLICY for kernel image signature 
verification, please include the following:

"An alternative implementation for the powerpc arch is IMA_ARCH_POLICY. 
It verifies the appended kernel image signature and additionally 
includes both the signed and unsigned file hashes in the IMA measurement 
list, extends the IMA PCR in the TPM, and prevents blacklisted binary 
kernel images from being kexec'd."

Thanks & Regards,
