Not your fault but for the AA folks, I think this is a layering
violation; security modules shouldn't directly set bits in brpm->unsafe
as they could be used at any time by the core kernel; we have our own
bprm->security field for any module-private flags. If there was a
general need for such a flag, it should be defined with the rest of the
unsafe flags so that it is properly reserved.
