As I said before, this will disable xmon entirely. If we want to set
this, we should compile out xmon. But if we want xmon in read-only mode
to be an option, we should pick integrity mode.

I don't really mind, because I don't work with skiroot very
much. Oliver, Joel, Nayna, you all do stuff around this sort of level -
is this a problem for any of you?

Regards,
Daniel
