Right now the value is 2. So this is your last hope if you want to make
it a bitmask. I'll leave that up to paul/richard to (over) design.

Support for by EXEC should probably be noted somehow. Especially since
audit_netlink_ok() sucks and return EINVAL for unknown message types. We
wouldn't need the bump to version if that returned EOPNOTSUP and
userspace could actually tell what was going on...
