    Convert LSM into a static interface, as the ability to unload a security
    module is not required by in-tree users and potentially complicates the
    overall security architecture.

    Needlessly exported LSM symbols have been unexported, to help reduce API
    abuse.

    Parameters for the capability and root_plug modules are now specified
    at boot.

    The SECURITY_FRAMEWORK_VERSION macro has also been removed.

    In a nutshell, there is no safe way to unload an LSM. The modular interface
    is thus unecessary and broken infrastructure. It is used only by out-of-tree
    modules, which are often binary-only, illegal, abusive of the API and
    dangerous, e.g. silently re-vectoring SELinux.

    Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
