Even if the basic idea were sound (doubtful), this would need to be
generalized (i.e. not ipv4-specific).  Also, I think I'd rather see
extensions to the audit data be incorporated into the audit framework,
not the AVC-specific audit code, and some of the existing avc_audit()
code migrated into the audit framework (e.g. the exe= information
currently generated by avc_audit could be done by audit_log_exit
instead).
