Bug Description
[Impact]
Documentation tells users they can lift lockdown locally via a SysRq, when in fact we do not support this (confirmed w/ @sforshee on kernel team).
[Test Case]
man kernel_lockdown - look for documentation of the SysRq feature.
[Fix]

[Where Problems Could Occur]
The only potential problem I can see is the corner case risk there is with any update - maybe the build environment has changed in some way that introduces a regression elsewhere in the package? /me waves hands.
