Component/s: Documentation

Description

In the "Signing Executables for Use in the Integrity Managed File System" page of the WRL 8 documentation, it is briefly mentioned that "If the target system does not include TPM, the evmctl ima_sign command will return an *ioctl()* error.".

This is not explicit enough since IMA does not work without the hardware TPM chip.

It should also be stated clearly in the "Integrity Managed Platform Overview" document.
