Ok, it seems a consensus is emerging to go with Paul's idea of having 
larger, frequently updated LSMs merge directly to Linus.  If Linus is okay 
with that (I'm assuing he will be), then that's how we'll do thing from 
now.

Of course, any LSM or other security mechanism is still welcome to be 
merged via my tree.
