A gentle reminder that you should try to make you patches as
"checkpatch clean" as possible (see scripts/checkpatch.pl).  There are
several 80-char warnings, which aren't fatal, but the big no-no is
below:

  ERROR: do not use assignment in if condition
  #72: FILE: kernel/auditsc.c:2290:
  +               if (uid_valid(auid = audit_get_loginuid(tsk)))

... while I don't completely agree with everything checkpatch has to
say, I definitely agree with checkpatch when it comes to assignments
in if conditions.
