 - A device is just forbidden from anything using it
 - A device used only with untrusted memory
 - A device is usable with trusted memory

IMHO this determination needs to be made before the device driver is
bound.

The kernel will self-accept a bunch of platform devices, but something
like the boot volume's device will need something to go look and
approve it.

Today the kernel self-approves untrusted devices, but this is perhaps
not a great idea in the long run.

It is definately not a good idea for trusted devices.
