The contents may be the same, but the base is different.

In particular, you based it on the security tree that already had a
few other patches, so now that branch contains not just selinux work,
but also a couple of tomoyo patches that came in that way.

Anyway, I pulled this simply because it was easier to review and
didn't have anything I disliked per se, but if we're going to actually
keep the different securlty layers separate, they need to also have
clean bases for the work in the future.

Anyway, I'm at the airport on my way back home, and hopefully I'll be
back to normal tomorrow after a good night's sleep, and I can take a
look at the rest.
