It's interpreting the x86 boot_params at this point. I suppose I could move
the following piece:

if (efi_enabled(EFI_BOOT)) {
switch (boot_params.secure_boot) {
case efi_secureboot_mode_disabled:
pr_info("Secure boot disabled\n");
break;
case efi_secureboot_mode_enabled:
pr_info("Secure boot enabled\n");
break;
default:
pr_info("Secure boot could not be determined\n");
break;
}
}

into generic code and pass in boot_params.secure_boot as an argument (since
that's x86-specific I believe. Any suggestions as to where? The same file as
efi_get_secureboot() would seem to be the wrong place since that gets linked
into the bootwrapper. I could put it into drivers/firmware/efi/secure_boot.c
and make that conditional in the Makefile.
