    Yes.

    Which documentation do you refer to?  The LSM web site doesn't get updated 
    often.

    At the following URL for downloading SE Linux there is an option "Download new 
    2.4-based SELinux" which includes a LSM kernel patch without sys_security 
    (among many other things).
    http://www.nsa.gov/selinux/download.html
    
    This release from the NSA happened a week ago and was the first release of the 
    new LSM for 2.4.x kernels.  So it is quite new in the 2.4.x tree.  In 2.5.x 
    and 2.6.0test it's been there for a while, but it's been in a state of rapid 
    development (which probably explains the lack of documentation you refer to).
