I've been tracking down where the audit context isn't set where
we'd expect it to be, I've identified 5 cases:

	1000	AUDIT_GET 		- Get Status
	1001	AUDIT_SET 		- Set status enable/disable/auditd
	1010	AUDIT_SIGNAL_INFO
	1130	AUDIT_SERVICE_START
	1131	AUDIT_SEVICE_STOP

These are all events that relate to the audit system itself.
It seems plausible that these really aren't syscalls and hence
shouldn't be expected to have an audit_context. I will create a
patch that treats these as the special cases I believe them to be.
