Similar to the other patchset you just posted, is there any reason why
individual subsystem maintainers can't pick these patches up, or is
there some reason I'm missing and they need to go through a single
tree?

If they can go through multiple trees, can you split this patch up?
AppArmor, Integrity/IMA, IPE, and SELinux are all maintained by
different groups/people.
