[PATCH 08/11] Secure boot: Add a dummy kernel parameter that will switch on Secure Boot mode

[Matthew Garrett]

From: Josh Boyer <jwboyer@xxxxxxxxxx>

This forcibly drops CAP_SECURE_FIRMWARE from both cap_permitted and cap_bset
in the init_cred struct, which everything else inherits from.  This works on
any machine and can be used to develop even if the box doesn't have UEFI.
