Sorry, I think we're talking at cross purposes - I was referring to your patch "ima: require secure_boot rules in lockdown mode" (https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-fs.git/commit/?h=efi-lock-down&id=7fa3734bd31a4b3fe71358fcba8d4878e5005b7f). If the goal is just to use the architecture rules then I don't see any conflict, and as far as I can tell things would just work as is if I drop the ima portion from "kexec_file: Restrict at runtime if the kernel is locked down"? Apologies, I'd thought that the secure_boot ruleset was still intended to be used in a lockdown environment.
