Relax, all the SELinux enforced separation still exists, and works.  We're 
just fixing the LSM/SELinux stuff that was broken with the multiqueue addition 
and adding a new SELinux permission to control access to the new queue 
command.

What we are currently discussing is DAC only.  While Michael have different 
opinions on how to solve the DAC issues, we agree that SELinux works 
correctly.
