The testmmiotrace module shouldn't be permitted when the kernel is locked
down as it can be used to arbitrarily read and write MMIO space.

I wonder if we should take this one step further. As this module is
really just for testing the mmiotracer (and really shouldn't be enabled
by anyone that doesn't know what it's for), why not just add to the Kconfig file

CONFIG_MMIOTRACE_TEST depend on !CONFIG_LOCK_DOWN_KERNEL ?
