That was my plan. Right now the hook just gets an ASCII description of
the reason for the lockdown - that seems suboptimal for cases like
SELinux. What information would you want? My initial thinking was to
just have a stable enum of lockdown reasons that's in the UAPI headers
and then let other LSM tooling consume that, but I haven't spent
enough time with the internals of SELinux to know if there'd be a more
attractive solution.
