This is the final batch of changes to bring linux-6.1.y in sync with 6.6 and later in terms of compatibility with tightened boot security requirements imposed by MicroSoft, compliance with which is a prerequisite for them to be willing to resume signing distro shim images with the MS 3rd party secure boot certificate.
Without this, distros can only boot on off-the-shelf x86 PCs after disabling secure boot explicitly.
Most of these changes appeared in v6.8 and have been backported to v6.6 already.
All now queued up, thanks.
