IBM just posted a JFS patch this morning to the selinux mailing list
that they said allows them to use SELinux with JFS on FC3.  They said
that they are submitting it upstream soon, so hopefully SELinux and JFS
will play nicely with each other in the not-so-distant future.  Also
requires a small patch to the policy configuration to tell SELinux that
it should try using xattrs on jfs for file contexts.
