It is about to become available across all distributions with the next
shim as everyone is about to ship SBAT capable shims.

From my system with the next shim & 5.10 kernel I have:

$ ls /sys/firmware/efi/mok-variables/
MokIgnoreDB  MokListRT  MokListXRT  MokSBStateRT  SbatRT

It's not just a single Mok variable, but _all_ mok variables are
available from the mok-table that are used to determine mok state.
Including whether or not db should be ignored, whether or not signature
verification is turned off, and what are the SBAT generation revocations
are, in addition to MokListRT & MokListXRT.

For example, kernel could gain further functionality to honor the user
choices and disable loading db controlled by MokIgnoreDB especially
since shim chooses to not consider db certificates & hashes as trust-worthy.

Regards,

Dimitri.
