Pull documentation updates from Jonathan Corbet: "There has been a fair amount of activity in the docs tree this time around.

+TOMOYO
+======
+
+What is TOMOYO?
+===============
+
+TOMOYO is a name-based MAC extension (LSM module) for the Linux kernel.
+
+LiveCD-based tutorials are available at
+
+http://tomoyo.sourceforge.jp/1.7/1st-step/ubuntu10.04-live/
+http://tomoyo.sourceforge.jp/1.7/1st-step/centos5-live/
+
+Though these tutorials use non-LSM version of TOMOYO, they are useful for you
+to know what TOMOYO is.
+
+How to enable TOMOYO?
+=====================
+
+Build the kernel with ``CONFIG_SECURITY_TOMOYO=y`` and pass ``security=tomoyo`` on
+kernel's command line.
+
+Please see http://tomoyo.sourceforge.jp/2.3/ for details.
+
+Where is documentation?
+=======================
+
+User <-> Kernel interface documentation is available at
+http://tomoyo.sourceforge.jp/2.3/policy-reference.html .
+
+Materials we prepared for seminars and symposiums are available at
+http://sourceforge.jp/projects/tomoyo/docs/?category_id=532&language_id=1 .
+Below lists are chosen from three aspects.

+What is TOMOYO?

+
+History of TOMOYO?
+ Realities of Mainlining
+ http://sourceforge.jp/projects/tomoyo/docs/lfj2008.pdf
+
+What is future plan?
+====================
+
+We believe that inode based security and name based security are complementary
+and both should be used together. But unfortunately, so far, we cannot enable
+multiple LSM modules at the same time. We feel sorry that you have to give up
+SELinux/SMACK/AppArmor etc. when you want to use TOMOYO.
+
+We hope that LSM becomes stackable in future. Meanwhile, you can use non-LSM
+version of TOMOYO, available at http://tomoyo.sourceforge.jp/1.7/ .
+LSM version of TOMOYO is a subset of non-LSM version of TOMOYO. We are planning
+to port non-LSM version's functionalities to LSM versions.
