I'm going to stop pulling these silly security subsystem "contains
just about as many merges as regular commits" branches starting next
merge window.

Security subsystem guys: just send your pull requests to me directly.
The history is illegible with the completely random pulls in the
middle, and I'm having a hard time editing sane merge messages with
quotes from submaintainers mixed up with other quotes.

This subsystem isn't working. I'm already taking SElinux, audit and
apparmor updates directly from the submaintainers, I'd ratehr just
take the smack updates and the TPM ones that way too. Because this is
just adding confusion as things are now.

I've pulled this, just to not cause extra confusion this merge window,
so this is just a heads-up for the future.
