To continue the earlier feedback about mixing generic LSM hook
definitions with the SELinux specific hook implementations - I prefer
to see patchsets organized in the following manner:
[PATCH 1/X] - add new LSM hooks and the calls from the relevant
subsystems, e.g.
{security/security.c,include/linux/security.h,fs/overlayfs/*}
[PATCH 2/X] - LSM specific hook implementation, e.g. security/selinux/*
[PATCH n/X] - LSM specific hook implementation, e.g. security/smack/*
