To my mind the important thing to decide is whether permissive domains
should be persistent in the policy or not.  If not, then an entry in
selinuxfs would be appropriate.  If we do want it to be persistent,
our options include making it a policy primitive, a magic type
attribute, or an semanage option.  Of those, only the policy primitive
requires changes to the policy parser.

I don't have a strong opinion on this myself, though my gut reaction is
that persistence is a useful property.
