The very original AA submission logged everything from the kernel using AUDIT_AA which was defined in the submission as:

+#define AUDIT_AA 1500 /* AppArmor audit */

I'm not sure when the change was made to call common_lsm_audit() which logs as AUDIT_AVC. I agree with Steve, doesn't seem a good idea.
