+	  The Secure Launch feature allows a kernel to be launched directly
+	  through a vendor neutral DTRM (Dynamic Root of Trust for Measurement)
+	  solution, with Intel TXT being one example.  The DRTM establishes an
+	  environment where the CPU measures the kernel image, employing the TPM,
+	  before starting it. Secure Launch then continues the measurement chain
+	  over kernel configuration information and other launch artifacts (e.g.
+	  any initramfs image).
