After thinking a bit about Fabio's recommendation to use 'read-only' to protect the partitions, I think it'd be better to use 'lock' so it is still possible to write them on Linux but it requires a unlock prior changing it.
In my case, I am interested in being capable of upgrading the bootloader from Linux.
What people think?
