Subject[PATCH 11/20] ima: added kernel parameter for disabling IMA
Date
If ima_tcb and ima_appraise_tcb are not specified on the kernel command
line, IMA policy remains empty and IMA functionality is disabled.

When policy is loaded from the kernel, IMA becomes enabled without specifying
ima_tcb and ima_appraise_tcb. There should be a possibiliy to disable IMA.
Distributions might want to compile IMA support, but leave for the user
to decide if to enable or disable IMA functionality.

This patch provides kernel parameter 'ima=off' that allows to disable IMA.
