Given that we know that people want signed binaries without blocking kexec, you
should have '1' just enforce module signing and '2' (or higher) implement a full
lockdown including kexec.

There's already a kernel option for that.

So, if there is an existing kernel option for this, why do we need a new one?

There's an existing kernel option for "I want to enforce module
signatures but I don't care about anything else". There isn't for "I
want to prevent userspace from modifying my running kernel".

So is there a way to unify these different things rather than creating yet another different knob?
