    i've made up _my_ mind.  i don't think it is necessary.  i want to make sure
    i haven't missed the obvious, and give people a heads up that a legacy 
    cruft is going away.  hence the submission to list asking people's
    thoughts.

    because it serves no purpose.  we have to defend every line of code in
    the lsm patch when we submit it for inclusion to 2.5.  and i dont' think
    there is a justification for this export.  the nproc module exports it's
    interface, this is surely an artifact of using the capability module as
    a template.  so before this erroneous export proliferates i propose we 
    remove it.
