Certainly. The patch as submitted is fine and Al ack'ed it. I was thinking we 
should have one more cleanup as a separate patch at some point that catches 
this at syscall entry and allows ignore/printk/panic selection just like the 
fail option for the audit system does. In the case of ignore (which would be 
default), your patch is needed.
