All three of these patches came from these discussions: http://marc.info/?t=129552800100005&r=1&w=2 http://marc.info/?t=129646395700004&r=1&w=2 http://marc.info/?t=129708178200007&r=1&w=2 1/3 was changed just because it seemed to be the way the interface was used 2/3 was changed because the 2.6.38 kernel fails to load certain selinux policies which worked under 2.6.37 because of this lack of functionality 3/3 was changed just because that's how maybe it should work, although there are no known users.
