It turns out, what I said only applies to the Debian package. The kernel patch and the package are actually two different things.

Yes Zulucrypt included and functional on KVM 15. However fixes for both zulucrypt and tomb haven't made it into Buster from what I've tested. Zulucrypt has a tomb plugin to open Tomb files too.

I can test it but I doubt lockdown will help at all.
Could you test this please by installing in VM and/or host please? @madaidan

Merged.

I also added the cli version to the non-qubes-vm-enhancements-cli section. It is a dep of a gui install but not vice versa. Zulucrypt plugin package was added there too since enchancements-cli is a subset of enhancements-gui.

Could you please test https://github.com/smuellerDD/jitterentropy-rngd/issues/6#issuecomment-483191719 in Qubes / VirtualBox? @TNTBOMBOM
zulucrypt works in Buster. Tomb does not.

This looks like focused on kernel protection from attacker having full user (or even root) access already. Something very desirable on server/multi user systems, but not so much meaningful in a single-user AppVM.
Also, disabling modules loading at all may break attaching devices (block, usb etc).
Other than modules loading, it shouldn't harm, though.
Any opinion? @marmarek
