Subject[PATCH][SELINUX] make selinux enable param config option, enabled by default
This patch against current bk makes the recently added SELinux boot
parameter feature a configurable option, and enables SELinux by default
when selected. These changes were made following feedback including
discussion on the SELinux list.

The rationale for the changes is to allow SELinux to be be configured and
enabled unconditionally. If the boot parameter option is selected, then
SELinux is now enabled unless selinux=0 is specified at the kernel command
line.

Please apply.

+ This option adds a kernel parameter 'selinux', which allows SELinux
+ to be disabled at boot. If this option is selected, SELinux
+ functionality can be disabled with selinux=0 on the kernel
