Yes, I thought about that, and if the policy capability was already
present in a released kernel then I wouldn't worry about it much, but
since the policy capability still only lives in the v4.11-rcX kernels
I'd prefer to see this code wrapped with the policy capability ...
even if all it really does is give me that warm fuzzy feeling.
