x32 + audit status?

Hi,

Do we currently expect the audit system to work with x32 syscalls?

I was playing with the audit system for the first time today (on
v4.0-rc2, due to [1]), and it didn't seem to work for me.  (Tweaking
ptrace.c like the patch below seemed to help, but I may just have
configured something wrong.)

I know there was a bunch of activity around this area in mid-2014,
but I'm not sure what the final position was...

Thanks,
David
