How about if I apply the attached patch? It creates a new LSM hook that gets
called each time a notification is about to be posted on a queue. It is given
the creds from the /dev/watch_queue opener, the creds of whoever triggered the
watchpoint and a pointer to the notification message.
The notification message includes metadata describing the source/type of the
message and the subtype within that, plus subtype-specific flags.
