All major distros have had carried a version of this patch-set
out of tree for sometime now, but with a bunch of magic (typically
sprinkled in setup_arch()). Though we can avoid those architecture
specific quirks if we call efi_get_secureboot_mode() from
efisubsys_init() and that allows us to have a generic solution.

Hamza Mahfooz (2):
  security: introduce security_lock_kernel_down()
  efi: introduce EFI_KERNEL_LOCK_DOWN_IN_SECURE_BOOT
