At the point you see

        SELinux:  Initializing.
        SELinux:  Starting in permissive mode

the kernel has barely detected the CPU, memory, and system bus. Of
course it has to start up in some mode before it's able to read the
config file. Search further down and you will see 

        SELinux:  Disabled at runtime.

I'm not absolutely certain, but I'd guess that this is still long before
CUPS starts.
