This config influences the nature of the static key that guards the

No further comment on the rest of this patch series yet, this just
happened to bubble to the top of my inbox and I wanted to comment
quickly - I'm not in favor of adding a Kconfig option for something
like this.  If you have an extremely well defined use case then you
can probably do the work to figure out the "correct" value for the
tunable, but for a general purpose kernel build that will have
different LSMs active, a variety of different BPF LSM hook
implementations at different times, etc. there is little hope to
getting this right.  No thank you.
