It would have been nice to see that patch CC'd to the audit mailing
list for obvious reasons.

Since I'm just looking at that tip tree patch now (perhaps there are
other preceding patches that affect this?), does it still compile
properly when CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL is not defined?  With
syscall_trace_enter() calling out to syscall_enter_audit() that is no
longer inlined in the same header, and no dummy function/macro defined
for syscall_enter_audit() when !CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL, it looks like
there might be an issue on some configurations, no?
