File operations hooks

Hi,

LSM has hooks for almost every system call.
In file read and write calls, the hooks are for permission checking. The
actual data that is read/written is not passed to these hooks. Is there any
specific reason for this?
Passing actual data to these file operations related hooks will be useful
e.g. for data filtering/scanning (say for an organizational policy).

Thanks,
- RJ
