I realize that the test suite failures are likely not due to your
code, but rather shortcomings in the test suite itself, but I think it
is important to resolve these problems before we commit the kernel
changes.

You mention Fedora 29/RISCV below, is that the distro you are using
for testing?  Also, are you using a stock kernel config from the
distro or your own?

Assuming a general purpose like Fedora, that seems like an odd
omission.  Any chance you can rebuild your kernel with the mangle
table?

Are you seeing the MLS/MCS sensitivity level, s0, or are you not
seeing any of the MLS/MCS fields?

Much like the netfilter config, any chance you can enable this in your kernel?

We will probably need to make that ABI dependent in the test suite.
