[PATCH 12/16] ACPI: Limit access to custom_method when the kernel is locked down

[David Howells]

From: Matthew Garrett <matthew.garrett@xxxxxxxxxx>

custom_method effectively allows arbitrary access to system memory, making
it possible for an attacker to circumvent restrictions on module loading.
Disable it if the kernel is locked down.
