Sure we do:

That's some class non-functionality right there ;-)

They also served the very useful roll of stopping checkpatch.pl bitching
about my reluctance to remove braces from the if () { } clauses. However
I take your point. I can certainly remove the kvm_info() statements as
each bit of functionality is added while leaving this one to help when
someone is bisecting and confused.
