IMHO changing audit_rule_xprt to audit_rule_transport does make it more 
readable.
But then does that also mean changing all occurrences of 'xprt' to 
'transport' for consistency?
i.e. 
xprt->buf becomes transport->buf
audit_krule_to_xprt() becomes audit_krule_to_transport()

Not sure that changing one and leaving the others 'xprt' really helps the 
overall readability.
