Yes, im tackling it, maybe patch series for each subsystem (e.g: 10/10
series for all files that has the function), is it fine if you do the
documentation removal at the end? (Lol you can *totally* claim all the
credit if 
you do it last)

But, the thing I am heavily intrigued in is the memscan() nuking, only like
14 files call it, it's an easy job!

But my server is not the greatest, so it takes a while for me to do
major patches like these.

Also, removing a whole function in the kernel sounds cool, (There even
was a whole YouTube video about it!)

For now, while I get my server upgraded, I'll review patches for
string, as I understand it.



Kees. Anything for this file on your TODO list you think?
