It's become much more than just a random driver in the kernel tree, it's now a taint flag and is exposed to userspace. So I think you need to rename it to something that is at least pronouncable when talking about it (i.e. something with vowels...) There's no need to keep it in 8 or less characters, this isn't the 1970's anymore, we have enough room for everyone to spell things out now. :) thanks, greg k-h
