So, I'd like to keep this in the tree, for as long as the LSM interface sticks around, if possible. It's not hurting anything, and it does work for users, and is a good example starting point for people wanting to use the LSM interface. Unless there are any known security problems with it? If so, please let me know. thanks, greg k-h
