Porting audit: implement generic feature setting and retrieving to Android kernel

[Nathaniel Husted]

Will, my sincere apologies, I was unaware Google had written one up ( I've
only ever been looking at Jellybean's external directory these days).
Where's the code for your audit port hanging out? I'm really glad to see
someone took the time and did it right. Thanks!

Cheers,
Nathaniel
