    This is based on Kurt's original work. The net effect is that
    LSM hooks are called conditionally, and in all cases capabilities
    provide the defaults. I've done some basic performance testing, and
    found nothing surprising. I'm interested to see numbers from others
    before I push this up. These are against Linus' current git tree (they
    will clash with the -mm tree).
