Would you accept a patch against the kernel spec file and SRPM contents? 
  In other words, if I make it easy for you, will it go in?  Or is it 
more problematic than this, for example that the patch won't apply 
cleanly to the RedHat kernel?

I don't know that I'd be too keen on having part of the filesystem 
unlabelled.  Presumably anyone who gets root has full control over any 
unlabelled files regardless of their SELinux credentials?

Most likely I'll be solving this problem with a customised kernel, if I 
go for SELinux at all.
