Question to consider: What are the implications of userspace using it? Hopefully it's just dead code that never gets executed because KVME_TYPE_DEFAULT is never returned to userspace now...

Yeah, I expect it'll just be dead code. For instance, procstat -v simply won't print "df" anymore. At some point those references should be cleaned up too.
