I'm sorry, but I can't accept this into the upstream kernel.
Permissive mode, both per-domain and system-wide, is not intended to
be a long term solution.  Permissive mode should really only be used
as a development tool or emergency "hotfix" with the proper solution
being either an adjustment of the existing policy (SELinux policy
booleans, labeling changes, etc.) or the development of a new policy
module which better fits your use case.
