That only works if there is a single kernel module providing the extra checks.
Multiple user-mode ULPs cannot do the checking in user-mode - the checking must
be done in the kernel to figure out which user-mode client to hand the request
to.

I think putting in restrictions to the comparisons possible is fine, as the
functionality of having the CM facilitate some sort of filtering is useful.
