Considering this is v4 of the patch set, it's pretty obvious I did
everything possible not to define a new LSM hook.  Even if we can't
re-use the existing enum, we could define the new enum in terms
of __kernel_read_file_id.

enum kernel_load_data_id {
        __kernel_read_file_id(__data_id_enumify)
};

static const char * const kernel_load_data_str[] = {
        __kernel_read_file_id(__data_id_stringify)
};

Eric, Serge, would using either the existing __kernel_read_file_id
enum or the above definitions be acceptable?
