I think trying to chase down which application is trying to manage the
audit subsystem is a losing battle.  In fact, I honestly would
probably shrink this "source" list down to just a few possible values:
kernel, userspace, and control.  I'm not convinced that granularity
below this level is particularly useful, and could be confusing.
