In-Reply-To: <20030613000409.B31636@figure1.int.wirex.com>; from chris@wirex.com on Fri, Jun 13, 2003 at 12:04:09AM -0700

[LSM] early init for security modules. As discussed before, this allows
for early initialization of security modules when compiled statically
into the kernel. The standard do_initcalls is too late for complete
coverage of all filesystems and threads, for example.
