You do realize that they are, in the end, done from userland? Which is
the natural place to do that...
The problem is that's a little racy. But more importantly, it would be nice to
load rules once since there is a chance that high security installations will
have the audit system in immutable mode.
For rules that do not resolve all the way to an inode, they could be put on a
wait list that gets checked for resolution anytime mount is called.
