In context this seems perfectly reasonable. If, however, you're
working with the LSM infrastructure this set of #defines is maddening.
The existing ones have been driving my nuts for the past few years,
so I'd like to discourage adding another. Since the security_filter_rule
functions are IMA specific they shouldn't be prefixed security_. I know
that it seems to be code churn/bikesheading, but we please change these:

static inline int ima_filter_rule_init(.....)
{
return security_audit_rule_init(.....);
}

and so forth. I understand if you don't want to make the change.
I have plenty of other things driving me crazy just now, so this
doesn't seem likely to push me over the edge.
