If you build using the devel makefile (e.g. make
-f /usr/share/selinux/devel/Makefile or copy it over to where you are
working on your module), then you can use the interface as I described,
i.e. just put
	storage_raw_read_fixed_disk(xm_t)
in your .te file.

That Makefile will pull in the headers and expand it properly.
Should handle the checkmodule and semodule_package side of things,
leaving you with just running semodule -i to install it once built.
