??? What Casey suggested is effectively

----------
--- a/security/whiteegret/init.c
+++ b/security/whiteegret/init.c
@@ -48,9 +48,6 @@ static int __init we_init(void)
 {
 	int rc;

----------

, isn't it? Unlike Yama, adding whiteegret_add_hooks() to security_init()
is not useful, for security_init() is called too early to create securityfs
entries for WhiteEgret.

Current version uses security= parameter as a switch for enabling/disabling
WhiteEgret, doesn't it? If WhiteEgret does not use security= as a switch,
is some other switch (e.g. __setup()) expected?
