/*
* The MAC Framework interacts with kernel privilege checks in two ways: it
* may restrict the granting of privilege to a subject, and it may grant
* additional privileges to the subject. Policies may implement none, one,
* or both of these entry points. Restriction of privilege by any policy
* always overrides granting of privilege by any policy or other privilege
* mechanism. See kern_priv.c:priv_check_cred() for details of the
* composition.
