I agree that the paragraph should be rewritten; it always strucks me as really
opinionated one as well every time I stumble upon it. Moreover, I'd move it
from section BUGS to section NOTES.

I do not think it is wise to remove the information on how to turn it off,
though - I see no harm in keeping the extra information. There are already
references to more documentation in the manual page; if there is anything extra
in the web page referenced, the information should be added to the kernel
documentation, I think. I think it is wise to avoid web references in general
whenever possible since most URLs actually tend to be quite volatile, and
vendor-specific documentation specifically to avoid any bias, informational or
otherwise.
