I like very much how the implementation of xfrm_audit_log() got
simplified.

But _TEN_ function call arguments, good grief!

That's at least twice as many as most cpus can pass in registers.

Let's try an alternative where you have specialized
xfrm_audit_log_foo() routines that take a user policy pointer, or
whatever the main object is.

If internally this just unpacks the needed bits and calls some
do_xfrm_audit_log() thing inside of the auditing code that takes lots
of arguments, that's fine, but let's not expand all of that argument
setup code in the main IPSEC code paths.
