FWIW, I created a selinuxns-base branch with just my first three
commits and your commit (immediately after my first one, since it
doesn't depend on the other ones), based on current selinux/next.  My
first three commits are the ones that are purely restructuring and do
not have any effect on SELinux behavior or APIs (userspace or LSM
hooks, obviously SELinux-internal interfaces do change).  My fourth
commit on the selinuxns branch ("netns,selinux: create the selinux
netlink socket per network namespace") could perhaps also be added but
that one might be more controversial since it does change existing
SELinux behavior (although arguably the current behavior is wrong) and
in any event I don't think it has any impact on your patches. You can
probably base your work on top of selinuxns-base until those are either
flushed to selinux/next or definitively rejected, although obviously
they may have to change in response to review comments.  That branch
will however get re-based when selinux/next is re-based (to something
4.15 based).
