I've been looking through the kernel for new subsytems which might need LSM hooks, and we've got a proliferation of Netlink abstractions: generic Netlink, nfnetlink, connector and kobject_uevent.
I think we should look at consolidating some of these schemes, and if possible, into a unififed Netlink API. As a first step, what would it take to adapt the single user of connector (the w1 driver) to use generic Netlink? I suspect that some of the nfnetlink infrastructure can be used more generically, and that a simple API for the common case of kernel->user event notifications could be also be provided.
