This argument holds no water for me.  LSMs are all about taking what
would otherwise be perfectly acceptable behavior and breaking them in
the name of security.  They fundamentally break applications that used
to work just fine and also did totally sane things.

I'm a security dummy.  All I know is that when I see something like this:

	if (security_vm_enough_memory_mm(mm, grow))
		...

I know to ignore it because I like my systems to boot and I'm not using
those hooks.  :)

How could the mere presence of an LSM change the behavior of one of
these hooks?  Don't they have to actually hook into the specific place
and actively go trying to change the behavior at that site?
