 If you can gain access to kernel memory, for example by loading unexpected
 kernel modules or by misusing the blitter, then you can bypass essentially
 any post-firmware security we have in place for at least as long as you
 can keep the machine running. Consequently, we need to decide how we're
 going to protect the kernel's memory.
