ok, not entirely sure i'm thinking right here.

Security ops are attached at do_initcalls in do_basic_setup.
proc_init_root is called before this.  This means that if we
actually use inode_alloc_security and kmalloc anything for
the inode->i_security to point to, then we have a time where
inodes for the procfs exist, but i_security does not.  So

1. Am i right?

2. Would we like to change this?  How?  Sure, I can work around
it, but it seems like something most people will have to deal
with.

thanks,
