PGP is widely used so i would gladly have one more parser in the kernel.

The performance hit is negligible, especially on modern hardware. The problem
is that Joe user must wrap his head around IMA as a concept and go through the
pains of doing everything right. Failing to do so will result in a lot of
frustration, and i speak from experience.
Once you make it run properly it mostly stays out of your way. To put it
another way: IMA is not for sissies... :)
