Well yeah.  Everybody hates seeing functionality which is useful to people
go away.  But the license has served us well thus far and if we're to go
bending further than we have for practical reasons, it should be an
up-front decision rather than a backdoor sneak-in.

In this case, special-purpose hooks for a binary-only module are a no-no. 

Leaning on the binary driver vendor is the best approach although speaking
realistically, someone needs to get down and implement a driver which uses
the normal kernel APIs and which wraps the binary module (cf: nVidia
driver).  That doesn't sound too hard.
