OK.  Thank you for clarifying the process.  As I still need to post the LIM
patches based on the -mm tree to LKML, for this iteration the SELinux integrity
patch will also be against the latest -mm.  Once we are further along in the 
process, when the LIM patches are back in -mm, I will post a git compatible 
SELinux integrity patch.
