Well, I don't believe that it is "user"'s job to compile a kernel and
systemd. People who compile unix.ko or autofs4.ko as a module should
just stop doing this. Quite frankly the kernel should just stop allowing
people to compile unix.ko as a module. I think people who consider
themselves smart enough to compile their own kernel should be capable of
dealing with the fallout of doing so...
