Patch summary:
* check for 'nousb' argument on kernel command line in /etc/grub.conf
within the bootloader_nousb_argument check in a case-insensitive way
* update comments where appropriate
* add test attestation timestamp
* replace path + filename ind construct with filepath one
Testing report:
* Tested on RHEL-6. Works fine.

I wasn't sure if nousb was case insensitive, so I checked
<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt">https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt</a><br>
<br>
And found this:<br>

a trailing = on the name of any parameter states that that parameter will
be entered as an environment variable, whereas its absence indicates that
it will appear as a kernel argument readable via /proc/cmdline by programs
running once the system is up.</pre>

"nousb" was in the list as case sensitive.<br>
<br>
Applied your patch (RHEL 6.5), added "nOuSB," and things seem to
check out. Should we follow the kernel docs (which say case
sensitive), or allow insensitivity since it actually works?<br>
