I dunno, you tell me. What breaks if privlevel_floor is mismatched vs
vmpl and/or vmpck_id? If it warrants a "Fixes:" it should probably be
broken out.

However, I *guess* it is just adding some sanity checking precision to
userspace requests and makes some input validation not catch errors when
userspace tries to generate reports from the wrong level, right? I.e.
privlevel_floor may be lower than expected, but userspace should not be
depending on that since the report generation will fail.
