- At policy build time, precompute a DFA for all of the regexps, and
store it in a file.  This file could be mmap()ed into any user of the
policy, requiring no malloc(), and allowing the kernel to free the
memory when it is no longer used; this should also make loading of the
file_contexts configuration faster.
