I like the format of the output below.  That is very clear and should be
much easier to drop certain types if they are determined to be
unimportant to log, or drop unchanged values, but that should be done in
consultation with the time folks.  Steve may have issue with
the field type "type", and I might suggest "op=" might be more
appropriate, but check with Steve.

I'd probably combine the header file definition of the record type with
the code that actually adds that record output.  I agree splitting the
patch along the lines of the two different record types.

Very nice!  (more below...)

Great.  This should be reflected in the syscall's "success=" value.
