powerpc-ima-get-the-kexec-buffer-passed-by-the-previous-kernel.patch
ima-on-soft-reboot-restore-the-measurement-list.patch
ima-permit-duplicate-measurement-list-entries.patch
ima-maintain-memory-size-needed-for-serializing-the-measurement-list.patch

ima-support-restoring-multiple-template-formats.patch
ima-define-a-canonical-binary_runtime_measurements-list-format.patch
ima-platform-independent-hash-value.patch
