Subject: Preview of changes to the Security susbystem for 2.6.36

The following is a summary of changes to the security subsystem for the 
2.6.36 kernel, which may be found in my development tree at:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jmorris/security-testing-2.6#next

One issue which needs to be addressed is to confirm that there is 
consensus on the new Yama LSM module.  I had thought there was, based on 
list discussion, but have since had differing feedback.
