       That being said, a number of people have asked that the networking hooks
       be able to "be compiled away", so we will be glad to do this.
    
    That's the only big beef I have with the LSM stuff,
    on a whole.
    
    I want to be able to say CONFIG_SECURITY=n and all of
    this stuff totally disappears.  So use macros that expand
    to the security_ops->foo() when it's enabled, and compile
    into do { } while (0) when it is disabled.
    
    And yes, as much as the LSM folks may hate it, I want distribution
    makes to be able to turn this stuff off at their discretion as well.
    
    Some may decide that supporting a mechanism like this in their kernel
    is just too much.
