With multiple security markings on an entity then you have to decide if you want to consider every marking at each LSM instance, or a subset.

Perhaps you're right. I'm thinking in terms of the notion that each
LSM can have an independent file system attribute, but if they all
want to use IP options we're talking about a very limited resource.
No real biggie, I mostly wanted to point out that there's more to
stacking than fetching multiple xattrs.
