To implement the master enable/disable switch they want. The messages don't get send out anyway but why bother doing all the work if nothing will get send out in the end? It implements a well defined flag controlled by open/close on fds (thus handles dying applications) stating whether the whole code should be enabled or disabled. It is of course not needed to avoid sending unnecessary messages. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
