Add an integer member "features" to the struct lsm_id which
identifies the API related data associated with each security
module. The initial set of features maps to information that
has traditionaly been available in /proc/self/attr.

I understand why you called the field "features", but I worry it is a
bit too generic for 32-bits of flags. Let's make it specific to the
LSM label attributes; how about 'feat_attr', 'sup_attr', or something
along those lines?
How about 'attrs_used'? I'm open to anything except 'late_for_dinner' :)
Works for me.  It's also worth noting that this struct isn't part of
the UAPI so if we need to change it in the future we can.
