[PATCH v2 2/3] Add lockdown mode



From: Ross Lagerwall <ross.lagerwall@xxxxxxxxxx>

The intention of lockdown mode is to prevent attacks from a rogue dom0
userspace from compromising the system. Lockdown mode can be controlled by a
Kconfig option and a command-line parameter. It is also enabled automatically
when Secure Boot is enabled and it cannot be disabled in that case.

If enabled from the command-line then it is required to be first in the
list otherwise Xen may process some insecure parameters before reaching
the lockdown parameter.

- Print warning if lockdown is not first on command line
