Pull hw lockdown support from David Howells:
 "Annotation of module parameters that configure hardware resources
  including ioports, iomem addresses, irq lines and dma channels.

  This allows a future patch to prohibit the use of such module
  parameters to prevent that hardware from being abused to gain access
  to the running kernel image as part of locking the kernel down under
  UEFI secure boot conditions.

  Annotations are made by changing:

        module_param(n, t, p)
        module_param_named(n, v, t, p)
        module_param_array(n, t, m, p)

  to:

        module_param_hw(n, t, hwtype, p)
        module_param_hw_named(n, v, t, hwtype, p)
        module_param_hw_array(n, t, hwtype, m, p)

  where the module parameter refers to a hardware setting

  hwtype specifies the type of the resource being configured. This can
  be one of:

        ioport          Module parameter configures an I/O port
