    Firstly a disclaimer.  I don't know much about LSM coding, I'm only just 
    getting into it myself.
    
    However, I have been playing with User-Mode Linux 
    http://user-mode-linux.sourceforge.net/ .  UML is a patch for compiling a 
    Linux kernel as a Linux application which can then be "booted" under a 
    regular Linux.  This means that you can use GDB etc to debug a running 
    kernel.
    
    I have been doing my LSM coding experiments with UML and using GDB to debug it 
    with some success (GDB shows me what's wrong with my code, now I just have to 
    work out how to fix it).
