I have two systems (a NUC and a qemu VM) that fail to boot if I enable
the BPF LSM without enabling SELinux first. Anything I might be missing
or are you able to trigger it too?

For instance, the following additional cmdline args: "lsm.debug=1
lsm="capability,apparmor,bpf" results in:

Taking out "bpf" or adding "selinux" before it boots OK. I've tried
with both 5.7-rc2 and -rc3.
