Well, I don't know why you're so angry against LSM, but as noticed by
Matthew, the main focus of this patch series is not about LSM (no hook,
no security/* code, only file permission and mount option checks,
nothing fancy). Moreover, the syscall you're proposing doesn't make
sense, but I guess it's yet another sarcastic reply. Please, cool down.
We asked for constructive comments and already followed your previous
requests (even if we didn't get answers for some questions), but
seriously, this one is nonsense.

Funny. I know there is a lot of text and links but please read the
commit messages before further comments.
