From: Matthew Garrett <matthew.garrett@xxxxxxxxxx> kexec permits the loading and execution of arbitrary code in ring 0, which is something that lock-down is meant to prevent. It makes sense to disable kexec in this situation. This does not affect kexec_file_load() which can check for a signature on the image to be booted.
