This is what v3 already does: SEC...BOOTPARAM_VALUE trumps ...LSM_ENABLE.

You've already sent a patch removing
SECURITY_APPARMOR_BOOTPARAM_VALUE. If SELinux is fine to do that too,
then I think we'll be sorted out. I'll just need to make "lsm.enable="
be an explicit list. (Do you have a problem with "lsm.disable=..." ?)
