IMHO I believe there's no reason that Lenovo can't send the kek update to
all UEFI and Secure Boot-supported devices regardless of whether those
devices are normally lvfs supported. Same for Dell.

At least for me it seems to be a extremely generic update that doesn't rely
on hardware specific characteristics as is with a full BIOS update.
