While we are reviewing a general LSM for this, it has me wondering if an LSM or
userspace feed info may every want to use other possible context we could add for
free to make a determination.

For instance since all request_module() calls are in header files, we could 
for add for free THIS_MODULE as context to may_autoload_module() as well, so
struct module. The LSM could in theory then also help ensure only specific
modules are allowed to request a module load. Perhaps userspace could say
only built-in code could request certain modules.

Just a thought.
