I think the current proposal (in the other thread) is likely the
sanest approach:

- Drop CONFIG_SECURITY_SELINUX_BOOTPARAM_VALUE
- Drop CONFIG_SECURITY_APPARMOR_BOOTPARAM_VALUE
- All enabled LSMs are listed at build-time in CONFIG_LSM_ENABLE
Hrrmmm isn't this a Kconfig selectable list, with each built-in LSM
available to be enabled by default at boot.
That's not how I have it currently. It's a comma-separated a string,
including the reserved name "all". The default would just be
"CONFIG_LSM_ENABLE=all". Casey and I wanted this to have a way to
capture new LSMs by default at build-time.

- Boot time enabling for selinux= and apparmor= remain
- lsm.enable= is explicit: overrides above and omissions are disabled

Okay, this is closer to v3 than v4. Paul or Stephen, how do you feel
about losing the SELinux bootparam CONFIG? (i.e. CONFIG_LSM_ENABLE
would be replacing its functionality.)
