Okay, good, I just wanted to make sure you were aware of the changes.
Since the merge window is only a couple of weeks away I'm guessing
this isn't something we'll need to worry about in Linus' tree as the
LSM/IMA/EVM changes are slated to go up during the next merge window
and I'm guessing this will likely go in after that, targeting the
following merge window at the earliest.
