I just noticed a separate discussion about integrity-checking LKMs and LSMs.

Obviously, a libmalware.so or Dazuko based integrity-checker would block 
a kernel from loading in a Trojaned LKM - noting that the MD5 had 
changed, and asking you to block, temporarily allow, or permanently 
allow the changed module.

Another security benefit of your pursuit.
