Thinking more about it I'm more interested in the docs...
What does that efuse do ? One would imagine that while it isn't fused you
can install either software or keys to validate software that you choose ?
Then you could install some noop DRM and fuse the e-fuse ? Just to make
sure nobody takes control and install their nasty DRM and then fuses ?
Something similar to the Ubuntu boot loader that boots unverified kernels ?
