Not everyone is interested in enabling IMA or requiring IMA runtime
policies.  With this patch, enabling IMA_ARCH_POLICY is therefore
still left up to the person building the kernel.  As a result, I'm
seeing the following warning, which is kind of cool.

WARNING: unmet direct dependencies detected for
IMA_SECURE_AND_OR_TRUSTED_BOOT
Depends on [n]: INTEGRITY [=y] && IMA [=y] && IMA_ARCH_POLICY [=n]
Selected by [y]:
- X86 [=y] && EFI [=y]

Ard, Michael, Martin, just making sure this type of warning is
acceptable before upstreaming this patch.  I would appreciate your
tags.

thanks!
