Hi Djalal, Thank you for your work on this! On Mon, May 22, 2017 at 01:57:03PM +0200, Djalal Harouni wrote:

What purpose does this securelevel-like property ("Once set, this value
can not be changed.") serve here? I think this mode 2 is needed, but
without this extra property, which is bypassable by e.g. explicitly
loaded kernel modules anyway (and that's OK).
I'm sorry if this has been discussed before.
