You can address that by expanding the call_int_hook MACRO in
security_old_inode_init_security() in place and change it to stop
after the first call. The two callers of security_old_inode_init_security()
are going to need to be converted to security_inode_init_security()
when the "complete" stacking (i.e. SELinux + Smack) anyway, so I don't
see that as an issue.

Is anyone concerned that ocfs2 and reiserfs aren't EVM capable?
