I don't think that was correct to call it "not available yet in shim".
Shim has always exported all the variables, it's just at the time most
shims from most distros did not have any contents in MokX. And as
usual with all EFI variables, empty ones do not exist.

The shim from Ubuntu which is now public contains 1 cert & 378 on
x86_64 and 1 cert & 170 hashes. Thus it is likely to fail to be read
by kernel correctly unless it uses efi_mokvar_entry_find(). These
patches are tagged with CVE number which it does not address
completely in some configurations. Are you working on a patch to add
efi_mokvar_entry_find() or do you want me to write it / test it /
submit it for review?
