Ha!  When I first started working on this stuff, it was controlled by a 
module parameter.  Dave Brownell objected then because there was no way 
for distros to turn it off!

It could be controlled by both a Kconfig option and a writable module
parameter.  I'm not sure that would satisfy everybody.  But maybe there
_is_ no way to satisfy everyone...
