Capabilities audit field

Hi,

I recenetly found out that the kernel now allows more than 32 capabilities. 
This means I need to update the audit code that inteprets this value given 
from SE Linux. When I looked over the 2.6.27 kernel code, I found that SE 
Linux has not updated the capabilities code. Its still being kept as a simple 
integer in avc.h, but everywhere else I look in the kernel has moved to 
kernel_cap_t, which is an array. Are patches for moving to kernel_cap_t 
scheduled for 2.6.28? Are there security implications for not being able to 
access or control capabilities > 32?

Thanks,
-Steve
