Thanks Nathan for the report.

They have all been moved in ghak105 v2 patch 2 which is in your queue.
Lemme think if there is a quicker simpler solution for this patch.
That ghak105 v2.patch2 will have a number of merge conflicts and I've
already sorted those out, so I'm willing to post a respin (v3) of it to
make your life easier.  (audit_log_key() should also be moved, now that
I check...)
