Description

Currently, when using FDI, there is a single kexec command which is executed when foreman triggers the power/kexec api.

This single command only works in systems using BIOS or UEFI without SecureBoot.

It is possible to kexec systems using UEFI + SecureBoot using the kexec option "-s".

Adding a condition that will check if the system is using SecureBoot and changing accordingly the kexec options to be used, would allow provisioning those systems using FDI.

I will propose a patch in PR.
