Quoting Mimi Zohar (zo...@linux.vnet.ibm.com):
> In order for LSMs and IMA-appraisal to differentiate between kexec_load
> and kexec_file_load syscalls, both the original and new syscalls must
> call an LSM hook.  This patch adds a call to security_kernel_load_data()
> in the original kexec_load syscall.
