You want a configuration that makes no sense. There's no reason that the
kernel should make that easy.

Then they do what Red Hat does and don't set CONFIG_SIG_ENFORCE.

Where's the option to let me let unprivileged users set random MSRs?
Where's the option to let root disable STRICT_DEVMEM at runtime? We

doesn't improve the security of your house.
