Hi all,

We currently have one of those odd situations where we have three
trees all trying to add a new audit record type in the same kernel
release: AUDIT_URINGOP (selinux tree), AUDIT_OPENAT2 (audit tree), and
AUDIT_DM_CTRL/AUDIT_DM_EVENT (device-mapper tree). In order to ensure
a more successful merge window I'm going to ask we stick with the
following numbering (URINGOP and OPENAT2 get priority since there is
already userspace and test code written):

#define AUDIT_URINGOP 1336
#define AUDIT_OPENAT2 1337
#define AUDIT_DM_CTRL 1338
#define AUDIT_DM_EVENT 1339

Alasdair or Mike, are you okay with this? If so, could you update the
AUDIT_DM_CTRL/AUDIT_DM_EVENT numbering in the device-mapper tree?
