I also thought of moving audit_log_task() from auditsc.c to audit.c

in slightly different order of keywords which will upset sgrubb's
parser.
A bit of an aside from the patch, but in my opinion the parser should be made
a bit more robust so that it can handle fields in any particular order. I
agree that having fields in a "canonical ordering" is helpful, both for tools
and people, but the tools shouldn't require it in my opinion.
Steve, why exactly can't the userspace parser handle fields in any order? How
difficult would it be to fix?
