-/* Compute a serial number for the audit record.  Audit records are

- * determine which pieces belong to the same audit record.  The

- * NOTE: Another possibility is to store the formatted records off the
- * audit context (for those records that have a context), and emit them
- * all at syscall exit.  However, this could delay the reporting of
- * significant errors until syscall exit (or never, if the system
