Subject[PATCH 17/24] acpi: Ignore acpi_rsdp kernel param when the kernel has been locked down
Message-ID<tsWL8-5w8-7@gated-at.bofh.it>
From: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@redhat.com>

This option allows userspace to pass the RSDP address to the kernel, which
makes it possible for a user to circumvent any restrictions imposed on
loading modules.  Ignore the option when the kernel is locked down.
