The issue created by commit:
29ef73b7 Kernel: Audit Support For The ARM Platform

We need to include the linux/audit.h header to the arch/arm/kernel/ptrace.c
file to be able to compile the kernel.

This was already reported and I think Russell was going to revert the
offending commit, since it needed some rework to handle little-endian
configurations.

I can't see the revert in any of the trees I'm tracking though...
