This seems very similar to the capable/ns_capable combination I
mentioned in patch 11/13; any reasons why you feel that this might be
a better approach? My current thinking is that the capable/ns_capable
approach is preferable as it leverages existing kernel mechanisms and
doesn't require us to reinvent the wheel in the audit subsystem.
