I'm evidently missing something very fundamental (likely), and/or I'm
just not communicating very clearly (also likely), because the above
links don't appear to make any sense with respect to my question.

Let me try a reset ... Why can't we basically take the
"selinux_denied" TRACE_EVENT implementation in your patch and use it
to replace the "selinux_audited" TRACE_EVENT in the selinux/next tree
(of course with the necessary changes to the AVC callback code)?

If the "selinux_denied" implementation is valid from a tracing point
of view, why can we not do this?  Of course if the "selinux_denied"
implementation is not a valid TRACE_EVENT then I'm not sure why this
was suggested for SELinux :)
