And one more comment, why return a hard-coded integer from all of these
architectures instead of introducing an enum in a central place with
proper names idk:

enum audit_match_perm_t {
.
.
.
AUDIT_MATCH_PERM_EXECVE = 5,
AUDIT_MATCH_PERM_OPENAT2 = 6,
.
.
.
}

Then you can drop these hard-coded comments too and it's way less
brittle overall.
