Commit e65e1fc2d24b ("[PATCH] syscall class hookup for all normal
targets") added generic support for AUDIT but that didn't include
support for bi-arch like powerpc.
Commit 4b58841149dc ("audit: Add generic compat syscall support")
added generic support for bi-arch.
Convert powerpc to that bi-arch generic audit support.
With this change generated text is similar.
Thomas has confirmed that the previously failing filter_exclude/test
is now successful both without and with this patch, see [1]
