If a another script were created to reverse what enable-vmx.sh changed (maybe called unenable-vmx.sh) would a Chromebook boot into Verified mode again?.  Seems if the saved kernel bits were restored (bit-for-bit) so that the hash/digital sign matched Googles, it might boot verified mode (unless something else permanently flags the kernel modifications)?  From what I have read, booting "Verified Mode" while in Developer mode gives a little more security.  Assuming any of the above would work, we could execute the enable-vmx only when we need run a 64Bit VirtualBox VM then execute unenable-vmx.sh reestablish verified boot.

BTW, Thanks for making your enable-vmx.sh script available!!
Regards, Ron
