Yes.  The tricky distinction is that we're auditing the kernel events (as they 
are on the right side of the trust boundary), but we're typically interested 
in them as seen in user space, and with respect to documented APIs.  I think 
you're right, they probably should be with respect to the published mq*(2) 
APIs.
