Ok, that was pretty foolish of me to attempt. We could move all of the inline functions in security.h to a .c file for when the LSM framework is enabled, but that might cause some slowdowns. Although I remember that Kurt Garloff did some work in this area in the past, showing that moving these out of inline caused some improvements on ia64.
Anyway, for now I'm not going to worry about this, it isn't that important...
Sorry for the noise.
