Trying to think how to do things with a #define so you can rename,
"version" is pretty darn generic to pre-process. You could make it a
union, so userspace code and use a sane name....
* Change AUDIT_VERSION_LATEST to a bitmask instead of a number. For example,
it should be 3 given the current code, not 2. In a perfect world this
wouldn't even be in the uapi header, but it is so we need to keep it updated.
Bumping it higher should be backwards compatible.
Getting 1 without 2 is actually hard to accompish as I remember, but
yes, you're right, i missed that. I should be 3....
Can anyone think of anything else that might be affected by this?
No one uses this stuff, just change it.
