As currently written this code isn't something we would want to merge
upstream for two important reasons:

* No clear user of this functionality.  There needs to be a well
defined user of this functionality in the kernel.

* No abstraction layer at the LSM interface.  The core kernel code
should not call directly into any specific LSM, all interaction should
go through the LSM hooks.
