[PATCH] SUPPORT.md: explicitly mention EFI (secure) boot status
Posted by Jan Beulich 11 months, 4 weeks ago
While normal booting is properly supported on both x86 and Arm64, secure
boot reportedly requires quite a bit more work to be actually usable
(and providing the intended guarantees). The mere use of the shim
protocol for verifying the Dom0 kernel image isn't enough.
