What's the overall consensus on this -- do people generally see it as
useful and necessary, and is it ready to go in?

Any objections or concerns?

At the very worst, I see it as a very nice clean up.

At best, I see it as extremely useful for the things I want to do, with
various "minor" LSM working together.

As far as I'm concerned, I'm very happy with it.

Thanks!

No objections, and I know there are several people interested in seeing
this land.

I am happy with the code, and my only concerns lie with things that this
explicitly doesn't support yet (ie. larger lsm stacking, secids, ...)

Ok, Casey, please send an updated final version for everyone to check.

Are you planning to update security-next soon? I think that it will
be easier for everyone if I base it on the 4.1-rc than the 4.0-rc.
Alternatively, I could base it on 4.0. I can do any of 'em, but I'd
hate to have to do it more often than I have to.

Whoops! I read mail addressed directly to me before I read what goes
just to lists. I see that security-next is updated. I will have the update
ready as quickly as possible. Thank you.
