Well, actually it was enabled previously, but some (2) people complained, and
it was removed again. There was some discussion of making the feature
configurable either with a boot param switch (easier way) or with a /proc
entry, but i don't know what it did give. And don't remember who was working
on it, a french guy, if i remember well.
