While I was looking at Richard's patch, I noticed a few places where cause and 
op are logged and the string isn't tied together with a _ or -. These are in 
ima/ima_appraise.c line 383, and ima/ima_policy.c lines 333, 657, and 683. Are 
these fixed upstream? Or should a patch be made?

Thanks,
-Steve
