XFree86 and SELinux on PPC

On my PowerPC-based system, x.org's server wishes to access /proc/sys/dev
(probably for mac_hid/mouse emulation) and /proc/bus/pci. When I set
SELinux to enforce, these operations are blocked and X does not start.
Here are the relavent logs:
avc: denied { search } for pid=1504 exe=/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 name=dev dev=
ino=5303 scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_xserver_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:sysctl_dev_t tclass=dir
avc: denied { getattr } for pid=1504 exe=/usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 path=/proc/bus/pci dev= ino=5458 scontext=system_u:system_r:xdm_xserver_t tcontext=system_u:object_r:proc_t tclass=dir
Does x86's X server not touch these directories? I assume this policy
works on x86. I'd be happy to throw this in bugzilla.
