If so we may want to use one of the bits in the setup_data type field

Yeah, it needs to be hidden from root - but ideally we'd be passing it to the second kernel if we kexec. Alternative would be for it to be capability bounded to a trusted signed kexec binary if we implement Vivek's IMA-based approach.


Either way a security flag in the type field makes sense.
