It should also be noted that Smack uses multiple xattrs. It is also
possible for multiple current security modules to use xattrs, including
capabilities. It's not sufficient to provide "the security xattr", there
would have to be provision for general security xattrs.

A security module has to have some sort of policy for whatever happens prior
to "policy load" as it is. That's not unique to this situation.
