This patch addresses not measuring the kexec boot cmdline.  I don't
see a reason for mentioning anything about the PCR values not being
reset.  Keep it simple.

Missing is how to verify the digest of the measurement list kexec boot
cmdline entry based on /proc/cmdline.  Everything before the "root="
in the /proc entry needs to be removed before calculating the hash.
 Please include a sample shell command.

Matthew's patch "IMA: Allow profiles to define the desired IMA
template" will require changes to this patch.  Please rebase this
patch set on top of it, once Matthew addresses the comments and re-
posts.

(Reminder: the patch description should be 70 - 75 characters.)

Thiago's clean up patch initializes only specific variables, as
needed.  Please initialize event_data like:

struct ima_event_data event_data = {.iint = iint};

Remove brackets.
