   Fair enough, mind if I create a CONFIG_SECURITY_NETWORK that we can use
   for this?
   
Why special case networking?  Do it for everything.

2.5.x can use all the help it can get in the debloating
department.  It's currently busting at the seams.

security/*.o takes up space in my kernel and achieves ABSOLUTELY
NOTHING but take up space, the same goes for all the security_ops->()
invocations all over the place.

You must allow the user to config this stuff out of their tree.
