From e496ea42ced2540135baf7dfd208ea33be3a9c1d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Brauner Date: Fri, 10 Jul 2026 11:33:11 +0200 Subject: binfmt_misc: remove the VERBOSE_STATUS toggle VERBOSE_STATUS is a compile-time constant that has been fixed to 1 for as long as git history reaches. Turning it off requires editing the source and yields entry files that only ever report "enabled"/"disabled", a format nothing has ever seen in the wild. Remove the pretend knob and the dead branch it guards.
