Dynamically loadable LSMs are a bad idea, per several previous 
discussions. As a general design concept, kernel security mechanisms 
should be invoked during boot, so we can reason about the overall state of 
the system at a given point.

In any case, we do not need to take dynamic LSMs into account at this 
stage. We don't build infrastructure for non-existent features.
