While I like the idea of this in principle, I'd like to hear about the
testing you've done on these patches. A previous flex array
conversion in the audit uapi headers ended up causing a problem with
GCC12 and SWIG; while it was a SWIG problem and not a kernel header
problem that was thin consolation for those with broken builds.
