1. Extend the IMA policy language to support identifying keyrings
2. Define a new IMA hook which calls process_buffer_measurement()
3. Call the new IMA hook (eg. from post_key_create_or_update)
4. Define an early workqueue for saving keys loaded prior to IMA is
initialized.  (Remember we don't hard code policy in the kernel.)

I'll be pushing out linux-integrity shortly.  For the time being,
please base your patches on -rc3.

thanks,

Mimi
