Sorry for not answering your question (I hope that someone else
will, although I'm not sure anyone on this list has tried that),
but just to give you some information, --

We're considering officially supporting RSBAC at some stage, so you
might want to stick with that instead.

As for NSA SELinux, I have no experience myself but am not aware of a
reason why it wouldn't work on Owl.  People have reported that their
kernel patches are compatible with ours (some minor manual merging may
be needed).
