SLIM Integrity Patch

From:  Mimi Zohar <zohar@linux.vnet.ibm.com>
To:  linux-kernel@vger.kernel.org
Subject:  [Patch -mm 1/1] SLIM Integrity Patch
Date:  Fri, 23 Mar 2007 12:52:01 -0400
Cc:  safford@watson.ibm.com, serue@linux.vnet.ibm.com, kjhall@linux.vnet.ibm.com, zohar@us.ibm.com, akpm@osdl.org

This is a minor patch to SLIM that only addresses the integrity service
issues, to be reviewed in conjuction with the integrity service 
framework and provider that were just posted.

(A major patch will be released to address the other issues previously 
discussed on the lkml mailing list shortly.)
