As far as I'm concerned, preventing root from crashing the system
should not be a design goal of lockdown at all.  And I think that the
"integrity" mode should be as non-annoying as possible, so I think we
should allow reading from debugfs.
I have no horse in this game - I'm happy to bring back the previous
approach for integrity mode and block reads entirely in
confidentiality mode, but I'd rather not spend another release cycle
arguing about it.
I really do not care either way about any of this :)
