Boot is supported by and enabled in the BIOS (or rather, the UEFI firmware;
traditional BIOSes don't have that misfeature).

I see but is there a general switch do disable those even if secure boot is set to enable in the uefi firmware?
Honestly looking into the latest patch applied to the rawhide-kernel, I cannot see any indication that those lockups occur only if secure boot is set in the uefi firmware. They just lock out the user space regardless of what the uefi says...
