[Tails-dev] Please review'n'merge feature/disable-mei

Hi,

the infamous #6460 bug (aka. "Fix memory wipe with recent kernel") is
fixed by blacklisting the mei-me and mei modules, on the only hardware
I currently have at hand that exposed the bug.

Please review'n'merge feature/disable-mei for 0.23.
Assigned to anonym.

Note that this branch is based on
bugfix/linux-kbuild-3.12-from-testing.

The only commit it adds on top is:

commit 95660b75da58779477ce7fa21841613085d43fff
Author: Tails developers <amnesia@???>

    Disable the Intel Management Engine Interface driver.

    It is only useful to take benefit from the integrated ME,
    for out-of-band management, OS watchdog etc., which:

    1. we don't care about in Tails
    2. might be dangerous
    3. causes bugs on various hardware (e.g. systems that reboot when asked to shut
       down)

Cheers,
