So is it doing this as root (in which case we end up allowing it) or
as a normal user (in which case we end up disallowing it)?

And does it all work well apart from the printk? Because the printk
itself is scheduled to be removed, it's only there to hear about users
that may be doing crazy things that got disallowed by the patches in
question?
