This is why we want realtime-lsm to be part of the kernel, because it
_would_ automatically get upgraded when you upgraded your kernel. Since
it's simple and reliable, like you said, there's a pretty good argument
for adding it to the standard Linux kernel. You would not have to deal
with compiling it separately.
