Commit e65e1fc2d24b ("[PATCH] syscall class hookup for all normal
targets") added generic support for AUDIT but that didn't include
support for bi-arch like powerpc.

Commit 4b58841149dc ("audit: Add generic compat syscall support")
added generic support for bi-arch.

Convert powerpc to that bi-arch generic audit support.

Can you explain, in detail please, the testing you have done to verify
this patch?
I built ppc64_defconfig and checked that the generated code is functionnaly equivalent.

ppc32_classify_syscall() is exactly the same as audit_classify_compat_syscall() except that the
later takes the syscall as second argument (ie in r4) whereas the former takes it as first argument
(ie in r3).

audit_classify_arch() and powerpc audit_classify_syscall() are slightly different between the
powerpc version and the generic version because the powerpc version checks whether it is
AUDIT_ARCH_PPC or not (ie value 20), while the generic one checks whether it has bit
__AUDIT_ARCH_64BIT set or not (__AUDIT_ARCH_64BIT is the sign bit of a word), but taking into
account that the abi is either AUDIT_ARCH_PPC, AUDIT_ARCH_PPC64 or AUDIT_ARCH_PPC64LE, the result is
the same.

If you are asking I guess you saw something wrong ?
I was asking because I didn't see any mention of testing, and when you
are enabling something significant like this it is nice to see that it
has been verified to work :)

While binary dumps and comparisons are nice, it is always good to see
verification from a test suite.  I don't have access to the necessary
hardware to test this, but could you verify that the audit-testsuite
passes on your test system with your patches applied?
