What about having a small static array of security blob pointers for the
common case (e.g. SELinux + capabilities + perhaps something else), the
total number of which is compile-time configurable. Reserve one pointer
at the end for the hlist.
When a module registers with stacker, if there's room in the array, it
reserves a slot for the module. This slot value can be stored by stacker
in a handle held by the module (along with the stacker ID etc. perhaps).
Calls to security_get_value() etc. can then be very fast and simple for
the common case, where the security blob is a pointer offset by an index
in a small array. The arbitrarily sized hlist would then be a fallback
with a higher performance hit.
