Sounds nice in theory. I couldn't quite picture how that would look
in the code, so I hacked:

The assembly looks good from correctness and performance points.
union security_list_options can be split into lsm_hook_names.h too
to avoid __diag_ignore. Is that what you have in mind?
I don't see how one can improve call_int_hook() macro without
full refactoring of linux/lsm_hooks.h
imo static_key doesn't have to be there in the first set. We can add this
optimization later.
