CONFIG_IMA_APPRAISE_BOOTPARAM controls the "ima_appraise" mode bits.  
The mode bits are or'ed with the MODULES, FIRMWARE, POLICY, and KEXEC
bits, which have already been set in ima_init_arch_policy().

>From ima.h:
/* Appraise integrity measurements */
#define IMA_APPRAISE_ENFORCE    0x01
#define IMA_APPRAISE_FIX        0x02
#define IMA_APPRAISE_LOG        0x04
#define IMA_APPRAISE_MODULES    0x08
#define IMA_APPRAISE_FIRMWARE   0x10
#define IMA_APPRAISE_POLICY     0x20
#define IMA_APPRAISE_KEXEC      0x40

As Nayna pointed out, only when an architecture specific "secure boot"
policy is loaded, is this applicable.
