Subject: [PATCH 03/24] efi: Lock down the kernel if booted in secure boot
 mode

UEFI Secure Boot provides a mechanism for ensuring that the firmware will
only load signed bootloaders and kernels.  Certain use cases may also
require that all kernel modules also be signed.  Add a configuration option
that to lock down the kernel - which includes requiring validly signed
modules - if the kernel is secure-booted.
