Hmm, wouldn't it be nicer to be able to set these things along with the
rules, so we still have only one source of policy. And we are able to
match against SUBSYSTEMS, DRIVERS and such things?
Something like an OPTIONS="..." key, which may contain a list of keys
and we can also move the no_partitions key into that.
This way we can specify the "remove-policy" with an "option" only rule
globally or only for a certain subsystem.
How does that sound?
