Thanks, I like it.  My snmpScripts.te looks simpler now:

module snmpScripts 1.0;

require {
        type snmpd_t;
        type proc_mdstat_t;
        class file { read ioctl open getattr };
}

#============= snmpd_t ==============
allow snmpd_t proc_mdstat_t:file { read ioctl open getattr };

I notice that I failed to include all of my previous snmpScripts.te.  Two allow lines at the bottom were missing - one for usr_t as you mentioned above and the one shown here for proc_mdstat_t.
