The patch looks line-wrapped.  Also a couple comments inline.

...

+tunable_policy(`oidentd_read_unprivileged_user_home_content_files', `
+	# ~/.oidentd.conf
+	userdom_read_unpriv_users_home_content_files(oidentd_t)
+')

Why is this last bit needed?  Why would a system service be reading a
conf file from a user's home dir?

It's reading ~/.oidentd.conf, which allows a user great control over the responses the daemon returns when queried about connections related to that user.
