Well, why do you *have* to use PRMT at all? And this is a serious
question; PRMT is basically injecting unaudited magic code into the
kernel, and that is a security risk.

Worse, in order to run this shit, we have to lower or disable various
security measures.

If I had my way, we would WARN and TAINT the kernel whenever such
garbage got used.
