Yipee, less magic numbers!

However, one question for you ... are we ever going to see a device or inode 
set to -1 in the userspace facing API?  In other words, should the new 
#defines go in the uapi headers or simply in kernel/audit.h?  Unless it is 
part of the API, let's leave it out of uapi as we have to be very careful 
about that stuff and I'd prefer to keep it minimal.

Also, if we can put the #defines in kernel/audit.h we can use the proper type 
for AUDIT_DEV_UNSET which would make me happy.
