I'm actually unsure if security level has to be taken into account at
this layer, but if so, I just want to remind that even the superuser
shouldn't be able to mount new file systems under security level >1,
which still might imply a call to kauth in uid == 0 case so the 44bsd
secmodel may enforce security level policy?

Thanks,
