So the background for this patch is that Fedora, which carries the
lockdown patch set, recently regressed[0] with respect to user-signed
modules. Previously, we carried a patch that added all the pre-boot keys
to the secondary keyring. That way users could add a machine owner key
and use secure boot and lockdown with their self-signed 3rd party modules.

Since the pre-boot keys are now loaded into the platform keyring, I
suggested that Robert submit the patch upstream, but since the lockdown
patches aren't upstream perhaps it doesn't make much sense to pick this
up and Fedora should continue carrying it.
