Once again I send you down a bad path. Your original patch was the
best. We should consider including a0-aX in a future version. I was
mistaken in foolishly believing that audit_syscall_entry() was done
before secure_computing(). But if you look, that isn't the case.
Please pretend I never said anything as you had it right the first time.
