From: Matthew Garrett <matthew.garrett@xxxxxxxxxx> We have no way of validating what all of the Asus WMI methods do on a given machine - and there's a risk that some will allow hardware state to be manipulated in such a way that arbitrary code can be executed in the kernel, circumventing module loading restrictions. Prevent that if the kernel is locked down.
