I don't think we need to arrange that right now. This patch set needs to
be merged after more than 2 years of development. I'd like to avoid
introducing any more big changes. Let's just do what I described to make
LSM not broken, which is a minimal change to the current approach. We
can adjust the API later to support the use case you describe.
