We do need to separate out auditing the IMA policy rules from the
"IMA-audit" messages. ÂBased on the IMA policy rule aspect of the
discussions [1], ÂI would really appreciate if you could work with
Richard and Steve on the new IMA policy rule audit format.

This change can be upstreamed independently of either the IMA
namespacing or the audit containerid patch sets. ÂThe sooner we make
this change and upstream it, the better.
