[ANNOUNCE] 2.5.52-lsm1

From: Chris Wright (chris@wirex.com)

The Linux Security Modules project provides a lightweight, general
purpose framework for access control. The LSM interface enables
security policies to be developed as loadable kernel modules.
See http://lsm.immunix.org for more information.

2.5.52-lsm1 patch released. This is a rebase up to 2.5.52 as well as
numerous module updates and bugfixes. The interface has changed, and
the hooks are controlled with CONFIG_SECURITY now. Currently LIDS and
DTE will not compile.

Full lsm-2.5 patch (LSM + all modules) is available at:
        http://lsm.immunix.org/patches/2.5/2.5.52/patch-2.5.52-lsm1.gz

The whole ChangeLog for this release is at:
