Richard Hughes b333e0045c Split out a shared system context
There is a lot of code in fwupd that just assigns a shared object type to
a FuPlugin, and then for each device on that plugin assigns that same shared
object to each FuDevice.

Rather than proxy several kinds of information stores over two different levels
of abstraction create a 'context' which contains the shared *system* state
between the daemon, the plugins and the daemon.

This will allow us to hold other per-machine state in the future, for instance
the system battery level or AC state.

MSR

Introduction

This plugin checks if the Model-specific registers (MSRs) indicate the Direct Connect Interface (DCI) is enabled.

DCI allows debugging of Intel processors using the USB3 port. DCI should always be disabled and locked on production hardware as it allows the attacker to disable other firmware protection methods.

The result will be stored in a security attribute for HSI.

External interface access

This plugin requires read access to /sys/class/msr.
