you could #define security_enable_* to 0 when CONFIG_SECURITY_*
is disabled. thay way you don't need the ugly #ifdef in the .c file

on the other hand, why do one need a syscall anyway.
only to justify the existence of some ugly lockdown mode?

well, why make it even configurable?
eigther it increases security, then by all means: enable it
unconditionally;
or it doesn't increase security, and why do we need it then?
