As no currently stackable modules conflict over the superblock
(SELinux and Smack are the existing users) there has been no need
to move its management into the infrastructure. The active push for
stacking does not (yet) include everything needed for SELinux+Smack.
It includes what is needed for SELinux+AppArmor and Smack+AppArmor.
That does not include the superblock blob.
You can include a patch in the landlock set that provides infrastructure
management of the superblock blob. Feel free to glean it from my proposal.
