Yes, you really need to revert this patch David, I mentioned this some
time ago when the linux-next conflict appeared.  Also, future patches
like this *really* need to go in via the SELinux tree, not the keys
tree, as they affect the SELinux kernel ABI and if they aren't merged
via the same tree lots of bad things can happen if we aren't careful.
