It seems to be working OK on ppc64.  I think I'm hitting the netlink problem,
though.  I added never rules for each syscall (no watches), did auditctl -l
(which worked), and auditctl -D.  auditctl -D hangs.  The kernel still seems
to be alive--I can Ctrl-o (like Alt-SysRq) u and b to remount r/o and reboot.
But auditctl -l hangs, as do trusted programs, such as login.  So I can't log
back in if I log out of all existing sessions.

Al had asked me to try -mm.  Same thing seems to be happening on 2.6.17-rc1-mm3.
