Yes, without the file descriptor, IMA-appraisal can't access the
xattrs. 

You should really look at Bruno's patches, which are in my next
branch:

8168913c50d5 "ima: check signature enforcement against cmdline param instead of CONFIG"
404090509894 module: export module signature enforcement status

Can we get an Ack on the module one?
