I was working on the ima stacking PoC and found the lsm.debug output confusing to read, and I wrote it. :P So, I wanted to clarify things and make sure stuff like lockdown was visible. Additionally, if we're going to keep the "lsm=" param as-is, I wanted it's value visible at boot so people would know what to start from when making changes.
