    There are 3 platform dependent pieces of code in LSM, AFAIK. The syscall 
    number, the ptrace hooks, and the hooks in sys_iopl and sys_ioperm. paulus 
    and Anton are adding the syscall number and pthrace hooks into 2.5 ppc 
    code. There is no analog to sys_iopl and sys_ioperm on PPC. (Also, Greg 
    KH submitted the config/build code for various platforms to LKML, I 
    believe it has been picked up in 2.5.27 or 29.) If the version of the 
    kernel doesn't have the platform dependent pieces you can easily generate 
    the patch yourself by looking at the i386 code.
