Yes, it would. Thanks for the pointer! I missed the
"handle_boot_enabled" parameter, too, for some reason. I think this
could also be enough for some scenarios.

As a result, it seems it makes sense to respin my patch, and test it
with "handle_boot_enabled" and the patch series you were pointing out.

I'll try to get this done within the next two weeks.

Thanks again!
