Would like to be able to disable specific onboard nvme storage as means to dual boot without risk of one system writing to the other.

i would love to see something like this. even with full disk encryption windows tends to fuck up my boot loaders / efi partitions when arbitrary updates get installed.

This may not be possible without hardware support for it. Ideally a switch on the io plate of the motherboard.

I am fine with any simpler solution than half disassembly the notebook.
