eh? magic groups are nasty... and why is this needed? can't oracle/whatever just run with a wrapper to give the capabilities out as required until a better solution is available
merging this as-is IMO is a mistake, how about we get a chance to chew on this for a while --- superficially it feels like a really nasty hack
and who cares if vendors show something worse? vendors ship crap all the time, that's partly why we have vendor kernels --- to ship crap that people want now w/o having to corrupt and pollute the cleanliness of the mainline kernel until a sufficiently well thought out sane plan can be devised
