I doubt anyone will beat you to it.  I don't think the audit should
take a huge amount of time.  Perhaps half to a full day, just to make
sure we're not missing something subtle (such as ioctl()s or something
like that).

Also, note that the time window of making this change for 2.6 is
closing quickly.  Once 2.6.0 is out, it would be 2.7 material.
