When the FILESYSTEM token was added to support filesystem names that
start with a digit (e.g. 9p), it was given higher precedence than
NUMBER and therefore all values specified in hex (with 0x prefix)
in policy will incorrectly match FILESYSTEM and yield a syntax error.
This breaks use of iomem ranges in Xen policy and will break ioctl
command ranges in a future SELinux policy version. Switch the
precedence. This does mean that you cannot currently have a filesystem
with a name that happens to be 0x followed by a hexval but hopefully
that isn't an issue.
