fork_usermode_blob() would start a process in userspace, but early in the boot
stage means that things in the kernel might not be ready to serve for userspace
processes (e.g. we can't open a shared library before a filesystem containing
that file becomes ready, we can't mount a filesystem before mount point becomes
ready, we can't access mount point before a device that contains that directory
becomes ready).
TOMOYO LSM module uses call_usermodehelper() from tomoyo_load_policy() in order to
load and apply security policy. What is so nice with fork_usermode_blob() compared
to existing call_usermodehelper(), at the cost of confusing LSM modules by allowing
file-less execve() request from fork_usermode_blob() ?
