So the "Hornet" LSM thing needs to bve removed from linux-next.

I'm not ever going to pull it - it has been NAK'ed by the developers
of the actual BPF code, and now it apparently causes merge problems
too.

The LSM people need to realize that they cannot override the people
who actually write the real code.

The security layer is not boss in the relationship. It's the
subservient party. Security is important, but LSM's are not.

When the maintainer of a codebase NAK's a security model, and explains
that the code has different needs and different security models, the
LSM people don't just ignore that and go do their thing despite the
NAK.
