There are probably lots of issues with this code, but from what I
recall, the systems that use this do not have "untrusted" userspace
processes on it, so it shouldn't be an issue.  If that's not the case,
then yes, it should be deleted, but really, no one cares about security
issues with code that adds TAINT_CRAP to the system when loaded :)

Martyn, any thoughts?

thanks,
