You will also want to make sure you do NOT apply 0004-apparmor-Ensure-apparmor-does-not-mediate-kernel-bas.patch
or remove its equivalent from the git tree as there is a bug in it that
causes apparmor to hang. It is not needed and is there to ensure something
that should not happen doesn't.

It will get fixed before the 2.8.1 release but it is unlikely that it will
get fixed before the end of the year.
