As mentioned in a previous revision, I remain concerned that this is
going to become a problem due to the size limit on unix_skb_parms. I
would need to redo the math to be certain, but if I recall correctly
this would limit us to five LSMs assuming both that we don't need to
grow the per-LSM size of lsmblob *and* the netdev folks don't decide
to add more fields to the unix_skb_parms.
I lost track of that earlier discussion so I'm not sure where it ended
up, but if there is a viable alternative it might be a good idea to
pursue it.
