Hi David,

At first glance this looks reasonable to me, I just have a two
questions/comments:

* Can you explain your current need for this functionality?  For
example, what are you trying to do that is made easier by allowing
greater message queue labeling flexibility?  This helps put things in
context and helps people review and comment on your patch.

* How have you tested this?  While this patch is not SELinux specific,
I think adding a test to the selinux-testsuite[1] would be worthwhile.
The other LSM maintainers may suggest something similar if they have
an established public testsuite.
