Yes there are compile time checks, and it is perhaps easier/consistent
to read this way! but yes a union is also good. OK I'll update it.
BTW there is a *small* optimization that we can also add later to the
"case KDBUS_POLICY_ACCESS_GROUP:" when we walk the additional group and
match, instead of linear we can do a binary search since groups are
sorted, there is kernel/groups.c:groups_search() which should do the job
but the symbol is not exported...
Ok will update/test for the union case and send it later, thank you!
