we run kernels directly from sources on quite a number of machines.

one advantage of this is that if there's a problem with the kernel,
it's clear that local modifications are not to blame.

i can't see the harm in leaving il.c in the kernel.  it shouldn't require
much maintence at all.  i volunteer to do any work required to keep
it up-to-date.
