SELinux userland code isn't supposed to assume any fixed max.
libselinux does use an initial buffer size as a starting point when
calling e.g. getxattr, but will resize the buffer to a larger size if
necessary.
I try very hard to not have any memory allocations in the audit system to
prevent and possible failure due to fragmentation or leaks. I need to cap the
buffer size at something to meet this design goal.
