First off, for patches such as these, I think it is good to CC the
affected subsystem, SELinux in this case (fixed).
Beyond that, I'm a little concerned that you adding fields to record
in the middle. In the past you've warned against inserting fields in
the middle of the record, or reordering fields in general ("you'll
break the world") due to some poor userspace practices, yet you do
these exact things when it suits you.
We need a consistent message when it comes to userspace record
processing so we know what we can do in the kernel without causing
massive failure.
