FWIW I see slightly larger frames with the config:

073ab64 <ima_calc_field_array_hash_tfm>:
8073ab64:       e1a0c00d        mov     ip, sp
8073ab68:       e92ddff0        push    {r4, r5, r6, r7, r8, r9, sl,
fp, ip, lr, pc}
8073ab6c:       e24cb004        sub     fp, ip, #4
8073ab70:       e24ddfa7        sub     sp, sp, #668    ; 0x29c

page_alloc can also do reclaim, I had the impression that reclaim can
be quite heavy-weight in all respects.
