Lenovo Z51-70 "Boot Guard ready but verified boot is disabled" #44

Description

@Infinity4872

Tested an old Lenovo Z51-70 I am using as a home server out of morbid curiosity and found that it doesn't have verified boot. Doesn't seem to have a coreboot port right now as far as I could tell, unfortunately.
