Good call - I'll update it.

That too :)

yeah that's in the -next branch so it will be fixed on merge resolve.

If I bump stop up, but in the resolved version the masks simplify.

The gaps are intentional. Priority is from least permissive (0) to
most permissive (0x7fff). So the gaps are
there for things between errno and trace. I could add more gaps on
those sides, but I don't think there is much need to given the scope
of what is possible in the middle. I certainly wouldn't push ALLOW
down to the bottom.

Yeah I am cleaning this all up in the next rev. This was just ugly.
