And exactly how does that invalidate _any_ of the patches in the IMA
series in question? All of them are basically still equally valid.

And the "four bytes in 'struct inode' is a total no-no" crowd clearly
haven't looked at struct inode. As mentioned, we've got things like
quota stuff there too.

And quite frankly, it sounds like the right thing to do for Fedora &co
is to simply _disable_ CONFIG_IMA. If there is no support for it on a
distro level, then you shouldn't enable it.
