r_dir_file(insmod_t, debugfs_t)

The above needs to be added to the strict policy to prevent a kernel Oops on 
boot with the usb_uhci driver.  Below is the kernel message log from before I 
added the above to one of my systems.  I only really needed to allow search 
access to the directory, but I decided to allow full read access to the 
directory and any files under it just in case.

Above is a bugzilla entry.
