Create a system call to report the list of Linux Security Modules
that are active on the system. The list is provided as an array
of LSM ID numbers.

The calling application can use this list determine what LSM
specific actions it might take. That might include chosing an
output format, determining required privilege or bypassing
security module specific behavior.

Instead of "unsigned int", how about "u64" to make it portable
properly?

Let's make a promise that for this syscall we will order the LSM IDs
in the array in the same order as which they are configured/executed.
I'm doubtful that only a *very* small number of applications will care
about this (if any), but this is something we can do so let's do it
now while we can.

Sure. Order registered, which can vary, as opposed to LSM ID order,
which cannot. That could be important to ensure that applications
that enforce the same policy as the kernel will hit the checks in
the same order as the kernel. That's how it is coded. It needs to
be documented.

Yep.  One of the big reasons for documenting it this way is to ensure
that we define the order as part of the API.
