I think Ben's question could be clarified with:

How does "login" relate to non-login (non-interactive) processes started automatically via system processes?

Our issue is with suexec-like mechanisms, and the 2 orders of magnitude increase ACCESS and 1 order of magnitude for LOOKUP, while significantly better than with the bugs introduced a month ago, are still posing significant problems for applying this kernel upgrade to production systems.

The patch to the upstream release candidate does not seem to have a complete line of reasoning to me, nor is it obvious why this should be backported to stable kernels, but I'm not well versed in interpreting kernel patches.
