Hi Mark, Joel, Joseph

some time ago I sent this patch set to switch to the newer
function security_inode_init_security(). Almost all the other parts of
this patch set have been reviewed, and the patch set itself should be
ready to be merged.

I kindly ask if you could have a look at this patch and give your
Reviewed-by, so that Paul could take the patch set.

Thanks a lot!

Roberto
