Hi,
Instead of "trust-bios-boot-device", can we name it something like
"automatic-boot-archive-recovery"? Future firmware support will
not use
the bios-boot-device property, and the property name should
reflect its
actual use instead of its implementation detail.
I'm happy to drop the term BIOS in favor of firmware (though with EFI
I'm hopeful that we'll actually be able to control this). But I do
want
to keep the property generic, so that other things that may need to
rely
on it can.
Similarly, please avoid using the term "trust" where the meaning is
unrelated to security/integrity.
It is related to integrity. It implies that the administrator has
allowed us to assume more integrity on part of the BIOS than we
usually
would.
OK, with these restrictions I'm having a hard time coming up with
something short. How about "auto-reboot-safe"?

"auto-reboot-safe" is fine with me.
Same here.
