Can you re-base on something more recent than v5.1-rc2 (that's the base 
for that branch currently)?
At present it won't even boot for me on modern Fedora.  Two key missing 
commits are:

e33c1b9923775d17ad246946fe67fcb9be288677 ("apparmor: Restore Y/N in /sys 
for apparmor's "enabled") - without this, dbus falls over (or at least 
dbus-broker in Fedora)

169ce0c081cd85f78388bb6c1638c1ad7b81bde7 ("selinux: fix residual uses of 
current_security() for the SELinux blob") - without this, selinux ends 
up dereferencing something other than its own security blob after these 
patches
