The "with" here has been quite confusing, and I realized that you mean the subject domain rather than the actor one only after having gone through quite some parts of the patch. For a patch this size, a little more of a description (and the original motivation) would have helped. Wrt motivation: Why does this need enforcing in the kernel at all? Doesn't XSM_DM_PRIV mode deal specifically with what you're trying to do here? Or else I guess I really need some better explanation of what this is about.
