Add an integer member "id" to the struct lsm_id. This value is
a unique identifier associated with each security module. The
values are defined in a new UAPI header file. Each existing LSM
has been updated to include it's LSMID in the lsm_id.

The LSM ID values are sequential, with the oldest module
LSM_ID_CAPABILITY being the lowest value and the existing
modules numbered in the order they were included in the
main line kernel. The first 32 values (0 - 31) are reserved
for some as yet unknown but important use.

Again, kerneldoc.

And if this crosses the user/kernel boundry, please make it __u64.  Or
__s32?  Something explicit please.
