I certainly like it. If the old rule should have been that you _have_
to call cap_syslog(), then just eviscerating that entirely and putting
it in the generic code is definitely the right thing.

Anyway, I wanted to do -rc2 yesterday, but I don't really want this
kernel build problem to remain (even if it's not a very relevant
config for most people).

So if people can quickly agree on this, I'll take it and do -rc2 later
today, otherwise I'll do Joe's trivial patch as a stop-gap measure
pending approval for cleanup/fixing the security interfaces.
