Just read-only is not enough: a user must be able to configure things in
the boot loader: the default boot entry, or screen resolution, etc.
Also we want boot counting, which means writing the number of boot
attempts somewhere. A solution which makes those things impossible
is not very attractive.
We already don't do boot counting from the bootloader side. That
happens in the operating system.
