Which seriously leads to the questions:
1) is this because we do not ship stripped kernels?
2) is the kvm_* interface to read them the wrong way?
3) those stats are useless and should be garbage collected entirely?

I only tripped over this because I wanted to do the same to rt_tables
as phk did 13.5 years back to rtstat,rttrash and Marko made me
tripple check things.
