UBUNTU: SAUCE: (efi-lockdown) Lock down module params that specify hardware parameters (eg. ioport)

BugLink: https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1884159

Provided an annotation for module parameters that specify hardware
parameters (such as io ports, iomem addresses, irqs, dma channels, fixed
dma buffers and other types).
