Some history (summarizing the info in the bug):

- www.dazuko.org provided dazuko as an external kernel module using the 
kernel's Linux Security Module (LSM) interface.
- The upstream kernel stopped exporting the Linux Security Module (LSM) 
interface.
- So www.dazuko.org then provided dazuko as a kernel patch.
- openSUSE elected to keep dazuko as an external module using redirfs 
(www.redirfs.org) instead of LSM.  A new redirfs 0.3 (expected this 
summer) will improve the stability of this dazuko+redirfs approach.
- So the options for openSUSE users are:  1) wait for the the openSUSE 
dazuko+redirfs patch (sometime this summer), or 2) apply the dazuko 
kernel patch and rebuild the kernel.
- Note:  For those who wish to use the dazuko kernel patch, please use 
the slightly modified patch attached to the bug.  (The www.dazuko.org 
patch didn't work on openSUSE.)
