NOTE: git send-patch must have added that since I only put it in the body.

See above... I'll let you add the stable CC... maybe I should put this
in a patch comment *after* the --- separator after the patch description.

This audit_return_fixup() was pretty obvious, but there is other stuff
in there that isn't so urgent.

I'll separate these into four patches...
