Actually, this is wrong - disregard. This would be modeled more like sending a 
user space rule into the kernel. In that case, audit_enabled is checked 
directly. Its already a public variable but just not in the audit.h file to 
prevent its proliferation. You can do this:

extern int audit_enabled;

in your file and use it.
