How about a solution like this:

- New CONFIG_RSBAC_ALLOW_DAC_DISABLE kernel config switch
- DAC is still on by default
- A kernel parameter and a runtime switch can toggle the check
- Runtime switch is controlled by a RSBAC request MODIFY_PERMISSIONS_DATA on
target T_NONE (SCD other in RC and ACL).
