Just looked into it and looks nice. Giving it a try for next version.

Took a little while to get started, mostly because it crashes & burns
when not finding an matching alias for sandbox.

Ok.

Ok. Also restrucured do_sandbox_bind a little to match this. There one
of the declarations depends on this being checked first.

Ok.

Yes. And it then relies on the driver to print an error.

Yes.

up seven. sorted on filename here not CONFIG_..

Yee.

Ok.

or maybe just -errno?

and handle the error in do_sandbox_bind().

Ok.

Doesn't ext2load expect a address & filename to load?
