Again, the proposal is that the allow-list is limited to just enough
devices to startup and debug the initramfs and no more. Everything
else can be dynamic, and this allows for a powerful custom override
interface without needing to debate additional ABI like command line
overrides, and minimizes future changes to this kernel-internal
allow-list.
