Sorry, wasn't trying to call it dumb.  (I linked to a similar patch for 
ripping out lots of "unnecessary" infrastructure, which Rik found dumb 
because there was really no advantage to removing it.  I should have 
clarified that _my_ question was "Why?".)

I didn't understand what he was trying to do.  (Hard to ponder implementing 
something if you don't know what it would do.)  A test harness for isolated 
kernel functions is something I can at least imagine...
