Move the switch-statement in x86's setup_arch() that inteprets the
secure_boot boot parameter to generic code.

+	  UEFI Secure Boot provides a mechanism for ensuring that the firmware
+	  will only load signed bootloaders and kernels.  Secure boot mode may
+	  be determined from EFI variables provided by the system firmware if
+	  not indicated by the boot parameters.
+
+	  Enabling this option turns on support for UEFI secure boot in the
+	  kernel.  This will result in various kernel facilities being locked
+	  away from userspace if the kernel detects that it has been booted in
+	  secure boot mode.  If it hasn't been booted in secure boot mode, or
+	  this cannot be determined, the lock down doesn't occur.
+
+	  The kernel facilities that get locked down include:
+	  - Viewing or changing the kernel's memory
+	  - Directly accessing ioports
+	  - Directly specifying ioports and other hardware parameters to drivers
+	  - Storing the kernel image unencrypted for hibernation
+	  - Loading unsigned modules
+	  - Kexec'ing unsigned images
