There doesn't seem to be any form of system managed cache for security
labels afaics. Every lookup does a index scan. I currently don't see how
I could build a cache in userland that'd invalidate if either a) the
underlying object changes b) the label changes.

I don't have a better idea than triggering invalidations on the
respective underlying object. If you have one...
