Bug description:
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.
