So this issue has always been there, but:

Because it was merged for 5.10 rather than 5.9, which is a few months
out, so Daniel is looking to see if we can have it in 5.8/5.4 to close
the gap.

I would have to wait for 5.10-rc1 at the earliest, and get the selinux
maintainers ack for this :)

No objections; if the selinux folks feel unhappy with this it'll just
wait for 5.10.

Yes, that's fine from my end as well.  We can carry this series out of tree in the interim.  Thanks!
