The major driver change here is the elimination of the block based cciss driver in favour of the SCSI based hpsa driver (which now drives all the legacy cases cciss used to be required for).

To do this, the bprm_secureexec LSM hook is collapsed into the bprm_set_creds hook so the secureexec-ness of an exec can be determined early enough to make decisions about rlimits and the resulting memory layouts. Other logic acting on the secureexec-ness of an exec is similarly consolidated.
