More efficient, probably, but simpler?  As someone who has tracked custom
kernels with my patches in them, I'm a skeptic.  This always seems to be a
big can of worms, particularly when the code you are patching changes.

You can probably do it with SELinux.  However, on one box I have running
it, I'm not getting SELinux alerts about it if I try to bind to <1024 as a
user.
