I think leaving out of the top level makefile is preferred, as there are 
no other subsystem targets there.

Please make sure 'make distclean' cleans up properly.  These are 
currently left behind:

#       scripts/selinux/mdp/file_contexts
#       scripts/selinux/mdp/policy.23
#       scripts/selinux/mdp/policy.conf

Please also provide documentation on how to boot the system up with this 
policy.
