Tianocore(UEFI Reference Implementation) defines four secure boot modes, 
one of which is Audit Mode. Refer to last few lines of Feature Summary 
section in Readme.MD 
(https://github.com/tianocore/edk2-staging/blob/Customized-Secure-Boot/Readme.MD#3-feature-summary). 
Based on the reference, IMA appraise_mode="log" should probably work in 
coordination with AuditMode.
