again, as others have said - you don't like it, you feel free to hack
it out of the sources before compiling a brand-new, politically
correct (spit spit) kernel for yourself. like i hack "lp0 on fire"
right back _in_ every so often.
and FWIW, i think "fucking Sun blows me" actually says something
worthwhile about endianity mismatch errors. check the code to find
out.
followups where they belong.
