Reliably being able to audit what process requested an action is
extremely useful.  And I like the audit patch, as it is a couple of ints
we are storing.

procinfo and cgroup can both be up to 4k of data.

Is there an alternative he should consider?  Some way to grab a
reference on task_struct and just attach that to the message?

Or maybe it can be made separately optional instead of tagging along
on an existing option so that it doesn't tax use cases which don't
care about the new stuff?

Thanks.
