Squeezing in right before the end of the year! I tested this with my pseries 
secure boot setup. I built the key from the PPA into grub and signed grub with 
the testing key which I built into SLOF.

I was then able to boot 5.10.0-9-generic in secure boot mode under P8
KVM.

The kernel correctly detected secure boot mode and entered lockdown:

[    0.000000] Secure boot mode enabled
[    0.000000] Kernel is locked down from PowerNV Secure Boot mode; see man 
kernel_lockdown.7

(The text is a bit of a misnomer, but that's of no consequence.)

Lockdown appears to work as expected, I can't open /dev/mem for example.

Given LP: #1903288 / BZ 189099, I didn't test kexec.

In summary, I don't see anything from booting with secure boot on or off
that would prevent you promoting 5.10 for hirsute.

Enjoy your end of year break!
Kind regards,
Daniel
