Up to this point, enabling CONFIG_SECURITY_PATH was not required. By making it conditional on CONFIG_SECURITY_PATH, anyone enabling IMA will also need to enable CONFIG_SECURITY_PATH. Without it, new files will not be tagged as a "new" file. Casey, Paul, how common is it today not to enable CONFIG_SECURITY_PATH?

Moving integrity_kernel_module_request() to IMA should be a separate patch, probably a prereq. Then like the other functions convert it to an LSM hook.
