Standalone audit records have the timestamp and serial number generated
on the fly and as such are unique, making them standalone.  This new
function audit_alloc_local() generates a local audit context that will
be used only for a standalone record and its auxiliary record(s).  The
context is discarded immediately after the local associated records are
produced.

This has been minorly bothering me for several revisions...  Is there a
way for the development/authorship to be accurately reflected
if/when this patch is merged before the contid patch set?

I don't know the right way to do that because I had to pull
some of what was in the original patch out. Any way you would
like it done is fine with me.
