Thanks for these pointers! I'm sure KaiGai has probably already done a
review of these, but I'll take a look and would ask others who are
interested to please do the same. Seeing the different options that
people have gone with (as opposed to just the SELinux/kernel version)
will undoubtably be helpful in deciding the best approach forward.

Thanks again!

Stephen
