Subject[SELINUX] Event notifications via Netlink
This patch against 2.6.3 implements Netlink based notifications for 
SELinux kernel events. This will allow SELinux userspace components to
maintain synchronization with kernel state.

For example, a userspace AVC (Access Vector Cache, the component that
makes access control decisions) is being implemented for use by Security
Enhanced X and SE-DBUS. These applications will request access control
decisions from the usersapce AVC, which will relay and cache decisions
from the kernel AVC.

When the security policy is reloaded or the enforcing mode is changed in
the kernel, the userspace AVC can be notified and take appropriate action
(e.g. flush cache).

Please apply.
