I think it is safe.  For one, it actually works.  (Well, we've got
DEVFS there in 2.2, and it doesn't even work. *grinnnn*)  Also, it'll
only affect those who're really using it.

I'm only undecided whether to ship it enabled or disabled by default.
On one hand, we ship imgact_gzip enabled, OTOH, this one requires the
installation of a package before it can be used at all.  Anyhow, if
the package isn't installed, no harm is done -- it's just the usual
slightly bogus ``Command not found.'' message.

I probably won't rush the LKM stuff however, since i don't have the
slightest idea how to extend (or shrink) the sysctl tree when
loading/unloading the LKM.  Apart from this, the LKM has proven to
work on my machine at work.  I still haven't rebooted it at all, thus
i don't know whether imgact_java.c would really work when compiled
static into the kernel. :)

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
