    Explain Secure Boot as a thing in terms of the system, not the bootloader.
    
    Secure boot isn't a thing the bootloader does - it's a thing the system
    does in relation /to/ the bootloader.  So our docs should reflect that.
    Our bootloader's extension of that into the kernel and so on is a
    necessary side effect of that, but it's not the core technology itself.
