From: Kyle McMartin <kyle@redhat.com>

Make an option to provide a sysrq key that will lift the kernel lockdown,
thereby allowing the running kernel image to be accessed and modified.

On x86 this is triggered with SysRq+x, but this key may not be available on
all arches, so it is set by setting LOCKDOWN_LIFT_KEY in asm/setup.h.
Since this macro must be defined in an arch to be able to use this facility
for that arch, the Kconfig option is restricted to arches that support it.

You still need to document this in Documentation/admin-guide/sysrq.rst,
like I mentioned last week.

Hm.. On reflection this patch doesn't make much sense without the
automatic lockdown enable functionality, so I'll just drop it from the
patchset instead. Thanks!

There's some missing logic here.  Probably an else is missing, but it seems
more than that.
