Uh, never mind...

please don't look at that patch :)

With the obvious fix, that does in fact work (patch appended). The
__simple_attr_check_format problem remains however. I assume we don't
really want to just take it out, though, like this patch does? The
error I get without the fs.h patch is:

security/seclvl.c: In function `seclvl_file_ops_open':
security/seclvl.c:186: warning: int format, different type arg (arg 2)

thanks,
