I see no need to link them.  The audit_alloc_local() patch could stand
on its own to be used by either patchset and doesn't need to be included
in the contid patchset.  There is no mention of contid in it.  Patches 8
and 11 depend on it so as long as it is already upstream that's fine.
Of course, we could send a fixup patch after both patchsets are accepted
upstream to merge the functionality of the two.
