[arm-allstar] Constant "audit" messages after update

Hi Everyone,

I've noticed and some users have also pointed out excessive numbers of 
"audit" messages showing up in the kernel message log after the most 
recent update. These messages are harmless, but potentially a nuisance.

I'll ultimately roll out a package update to fix this. But, in the
meantime, the fix is simple, for those who wish to squelch these messages 
immediately.

The fix involves a simple change in the file: /boot/cmdline.txt Be careful
here! If this file gets clobbered, your system may not boot. ...Just add
audit=0 to the end of the single line in this file, save the file, and
then reboot.

Here are before and after examples of this file:

Before:

root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootwait console=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 selinux=0 plymouth.enable=0 smsc95xx.turbo_mode=N dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 elevator=noop


After:

root=/dev/mmcblk0p2 rw rootwait console=ttyAMA0,115200 console=tty1 selinux=0 plymouth.enable=0 smsc95xx.turbo_mode=N dwc_otg.lpm_enable=0 kgdboc=ttyAMA0,115200 elevator=noop audit=0
