/proc/beep is a kernel tweak that sends beep "signals" to a userspace process reading the /proc/beep file. There are one or two of these modules you can find on the Internet. In order to support them the kernel needs to export kd_mksound.
Would a /proc/beep module be accepted into the main tree? From the ones I've found, I can understand why they might not be accepted. But I'm willing to do the [small amount of] work required to get one looking like other kernel modules.
If not, could at least kd_mksound be exported by default anyway? This would allow homegrown /proc/beep's to not require any kernel mods.
