Hi, my apologies for the slow reply.

The SELinux/LSM VSOCK support wasn't abandoned due to any significant
roadblocks, it was simply a matter of time - I seemed to be the only
one who was interested in working on it, and I couldn't find enough
time to work on it ;)

If you are interested in spending some time on adding proper
LSM/SELinux VSOCK support my gut feeling is that it would still be a
good thing.  However, I would suggest spending some time investigating
the current state of things, while you may get lucky, I believe it is
safer to assume that anything from 2013 is horribly out of date.
