Recent review has revealed several bugs in econet and other obscure
protocol implementations that can be exploited by local users for
denial of service or privilege escalation.
The econet protocol (PF_ECONET) is unmaintained. There appear to be
no published applications for it, and it has never progressed beyond
'experimental' status.
This protocol generally should not be enabled by distributions, since
the cost of a security flaw affecting all installed systems presumably
outweighs the benefit to the few (if any) legitimate users.

As requested, I'm actually renaming the directory this time. I also
noticed that ECONET was enabled in a couple of ARM defconfigs and
explicitly disabled in various other defconfigs, so I've removed those
lines as well.
This is based on linux-next; I hope it applies to staging.
Ben.
