> This patch removes the requirement that the new and related object types
> differ in order to polyinstantiate by MLS level. This allows MLS
> polyinstantiation to occur in the absence of explicit type_member rules
> or when the type has not changed.
>
> Potential users of this support include pam_namespace.so (directory
> polyinstantiation) and the SELinux X support (property polyinstantiation).
