Grub 2.06 uefi secure boot grubx64.efi

Long story short, I have 2 kernels (linux & linux-lts), I patch grub so when the menu is generated LTS doesn't go as default but instead appears under 'Advanced options for Arch Linux' (second option)
I got an update for 2.04 to 2.06, everything patched and compiled fine, but I see a message at the very end of the makepkg -sri output

:: Grub does no longer support side-loading modules when secure boot is
   enabled. Thus booting will fail, unless you have an efi executable
   'grubx64.efi' with bundled modules.
:: Running post-transaction hooks...
(1/2) Arming ConditionNeedsUpdate...
(2/2) Updating the info directory file...

This seems new and I don't see anything via search. I am running a UEFI install with a LUKS encrypted root partition, does that apply to me?
I do have a 'grubx64.efi' in /boot/efi/EFI/arch-grub but idk if that means anything

Re: Grub 2.06 uefi secure boot grubx64.efi

Check if you system has secure boot disabled.  From your description I believe it is disabled.
