Subject: kernel/kexec: fix IMA when allocation happens in CMA area
Date: Wed, 5 Nov 2025 21:09:22 +0800

When I tested kexec with the latest kernel, I ran into the following
warning:

[   40.712410] ------------[ cut here ]------------
[   40.712576] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 1562 at kernel/kexec_core.c:1001 kimage_map_segment+0x144/0x198

[...]
[   40.855423] ---[ end trace 0000000000000000 ]---

This is caused by the fact that kexec allocates the destination directly
in the CMA area.  In that case, the CMA kernel address should be exported
directly to the IMA component, instead of using the vmalloc'd address.
