    Right.  It appears that the problem is that proc_root_init
    now calls kern_mount, which calls read_super, which calls
    get_empty_super, which tries to call security_ops->sb_ops->alloc_security,
    but security_ops isn't defined yet.  Moving the call to 
    security_scaffolding_startup before the call to proc_root_init
    does seem to address the problem.
