Public bug reported:
Modules under the drivers/staging hierarchy get little attention when it
comes to vulnerabilities. It is possible that memory mapping tricks that
expose kernel internals would go unnoticed. Therefore, do not sign
staging modules so that they cannot be loaded in a secure boot
environment.
