Thanks, Michael.  Agreed, which is one of the reasons for posting this
patch as an RFC.  The other reason is that it is an incomplete
solution, since it doesn't address mount namespaces.  Any suggestions
for addressing mount namespaces would be appreciated. Assuming there is
a benefit for a partial solution, I'll add the per policy rule support.

thanks,

Mimi
