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. This is
a runtime check rather than buildtime in order to allow configurations
where the same kernel may be run in both locked down or permissive modes
depending on local policy.

I'm curious. Should there be a mode to lockdown the tracefs directory
too? As that can expose addresses.

That sounds like a reasonable thing to do in the confidentiality mode,
I don't think it'd be necessary in the integrity mode.
