I haven't figured out how the bypass stuff really works.  Corellium
added support for it in their codebase when they added support for
Thunderbolt, and some of the DARTs that seem to be related to
Thunderbolt do indeed have a "bypass" property.  But it is unclear to
me how the different puzzle pieces fit together for Thunderbolt.
As a general observation, bypass mode for Thunderbolt is what enabled
the http://thunderclap.io/ attack. This is extremely useful for debugging
a running kernel from another machine, but it's also something that
should never be done in a production kernel.
No kidding!  I was surprised to see the bypass support on the
Thunderbolt-related nodes.
