Hi,

Some thoughts for 2.7.Someone has other ideas, comments ?

* slab allocation limit
* complete user quota centralization
* Add _responsibilities_ for virtual process tree and possible
relation in oops cases
* Does the whole proc vm stuff root/box relevant ?I don't think
so....Hence, those proc entries deserve security relevant attributes
* Devices should be limited as well against bad usage(floppy defect),
viral activity(netcard rush)...
* All this guides me to a more global conclusion in which all that
stuff should be kobject registration relevant
* Meanwhile, we don't have a kobject <-> security bridge :(

Regards,
Fabian
