Well, then introduce a new Kconfig variant for EAS, if it's super
important to allow this to be disabled.
Why do we want to disable it - is it not reliable in some circumstances?

Yeah, making this a sysctl ABI is asking for trouble - this really should
be a Kconfig or debug space knob, at most.
Thanks,
