The old code should have worked anyway, since it has two knobs (one
too many) - kern_securelevel_enable and kern_securelevel.  People who
upgraded /etc/rc without upgrading /etc/rc.conf should have had an unset
kern_securelevel, which should have prevented the kernel securelevel
bein set.  Why didn't it?
