Doesn't reproduce for me with 2.6.30-rc4-git1.

For our SLES11 kernel (2.6.27+patches) I needed your entry_64.S change to fix

Shutting down auditd 


test case:

for i in `seq 1 100`; do cat /dev/null > /var/log/audit/audit.log;  rmmod dummy; rcauditd restart; auditctl -a entry,always -S init_module; modprobe dummy; ausearch -c modprobe; done

This is on a Core2Duo.
