That's why I think the builtin allow list hook is still needed. Thoughts?

I see nothing that prevents a built-in allow list to augment the
driver-core default. Is there a gap I'm missing?

Okay so you're suggesting to build the builtin allow list on top of the existing framework?

I thought Greg's suggestion was to only rely on user space only.

But if we have a way to change the authorized defaults by device (not just bus) from inside the kernel at early boot that could well work.

Doing it only on the bus level I suspect wouldn't work though.
