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,
