As the scope of the MAC Framework has grown, so has kern_mac.c. It's reached the point where breaking it into separate files would make it a lot easier to read, by virtue of logically grouping its exposed functions, APIs, etc. Similarly scoped extension frameworks, such as NetGraph and GEOM, have opted to go into sys/$framework, with files named similarly. My leaning was to do something similar -- add sys/mac, and then have mac_framework.c, mac_net.c, mac_sysvipc.c, etc. I probably won't get to this for a bit because I want to avoid introducing large numbers of conflicts for our outstanding changes, but I was going to poll for general interest in placement, naming, etc. Some of the other choices would be to keep it in kern/, but rename (similar to the System V IPC bits, VFS bits, et al).
