See the earlier comments in the patchset about consistent formatting
of a given record type.  To the best of my knowledge only SELinux
currently uses the AUDIT_MAC_STATUS record and an example can be found
in `sel_write_enforce()`.  The good news is that it looks like that
format could be made to work here without too much fuss.
