As a clarification, those new changes was added to the security tree 
to modularly integrate Smack with Audit. The final step is the
reposted below patch which setups the new Audit hooks for Smack.

The main concern against below patch was the reuse of SELinux Audit
fields. For such reuse, Stephen asked for an explicit ACK from the 
Audit devs. I've CCed Steve and Al as a kind request for the ACK.

Patch is re-based and re-tested over James's security/for-linus
branch.

Thanks all.

Setup the new Audit hooks for Smack. SELinux Audit rule fields 
are recycled to avoid `auditd' userspace modifications.
Currently only equality testing is supported on labels acting 
as a subject (AUDIT_SUBJ_USER) or as an object (AUDIT_OBJ_USER).
