This printk must be broken up anyway.
No other filesystem driver has a built-in man page. HPFS is already documented in mount.8, so there is no need to use kernel memory to store additional documentation.
Of course, cscope still looks like a security hazard. One just needs to sneak a buffer-overflow exploit patch past Linus. I'll guess that this can be fixed by building cscope with flex in place of lex, not that I've actually looked at the source though.
