Based on Linus' criteria, this appears to be a case for reverting the static LSM patch.
Jan, I remember you posting this last year and IIRC, there were really only coding style issues to be addressed. There were some review queries and suggestions (e.g. decomposing CAP_SYS_ADMIN), but no deal-breakers -- certainly not now that security architecture and security model objections are out of bounds.
So, I would suggest reposting the code for upstream inclusion, which would be better at least in terms of upstream maintenance, as your code will be visible in the tree.
