Walking this list to do strcmp() makes my eye twitch. ;) I see that
procfs doesn't let us do a late evaluation and attr_dir_stuff is
const. We already have security_initcall() exporting a per-LSM
function, why not expand this slightly to include enough information
that we could resolve all this at build time?
Anyway, I view that as a potential improvement, and not something that
should block this. So:
