That is a good question. I went this way as it did not feel right to
me that the kernel would depend on periodic, reliable userspace
functionality to stay running (we would have a circular dependency).
The thing is, once the kernel starts to run low on memory, it may kill
that periodic daemon flushing the data for reasons unrelated to IMA.
