Oops, sorry, will fix!

Good call, I'll add that check if kexec fails. On some of the systems 
that this test
needs to run on, there is no `bootctl` or `mokutil` command, so I'll try 
running one of those
if they exist to check.

Okay, I can check if no measurement was found, or if it occurred 
incorrectly.
The kconfig is not available on the systems I need to run this test on, 
so I will read
the ima policy to check if the system is, in fact, set up to measure the 
kexec cmdline.

I haven't had this fail, what do you suggest?

Probably a good thing to do, but it hasn't influenced the test so far.
I assume each kernel is unloaded once another attempts to be loaded.
