No, that would be much *more* trouble-some, because we have things
like bug-reporting documentation that tells people to send /proc/iomem
etc information on crashes. There may well be scripts like that out
there.

So it's much more likely that just removing the "Kernel code" etc
lines is not going to break anything.
