You would need to build your message in a buffer and pass it to 
audit_log_user_message() as the message param since an API has not been built 
for the purpose you described in 1.0.15. You will also want to follow naming 
conventions laid out in the parsing spec.

No can do.

Nope. Setting the loginuid is a discrete event seen from the kernel's 
perspective.
