First, please put the changes in the LSM API in a different patch from the xattr changes, they're a different issue.
The other question is why do you name them system.security? The name sounds a bit too generic to me. ACLs are certainly a security feature and have different ATTRS, similar for the Posix capability and MAC support in XFS. As selinux is the flask implementation for Linux what about system.flask_label? (or system.selinux_label?)
