Check out section System.Fundamentals.Firmware.UEFISecureBoot in document http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/... especially paragraphs 17 and 18 which state that custom mode and enable/disable are mandatory on x86.

You might want to be more skeptical of some of the "various reports on the web", the sites you have been reading clearly aren't doing even the most basic of research and are probably not worth your time to read. Stick to LWN 8-)
