In kernel the types are:
int             audit_enabled;
static int      audit_failure = AUDIT_FAIL_PRINTK;
typedef int     __kernel_pid_t;
static int      audit_rate_limit;
static int      audit_backlog_limit = 64;
static atomic_t audit_lost = ATOMIC_INIT(0);    (atomic_t is just volatile int)

backlog comes from:
static inline __u32 skb_queue_len()


So it seems reasonable to switch backlog=%d to backlog=%u but all of the
other values "could" be negative and should be shown as ints.
