Adding the LSM list to the To: line for this snippet to bring these
patches back to front of people's minds.

I suspect the issue is that these patches fall into the general LSM
"security/*.c" bin and as a result don't trigger the individual LSMs
"okay, I'll merge this behavior".  Normally I would expect this to get
picked up by James' LSM tree but sometimes the lines get blurry.

As James is my boss now I talk to him a fair amount, I'll ping him
about these patches to try and get some action on them during this -rc
cycle.  I'll also go review/tag them as well.
