/* This module_helper program will be installed setuid and allows the user to add and remove a whitelist of modules necessary to run EMC. Without a scheme like this, we have to rely on sudo to start AND EXIT our program, and that may require the user to enter a password. Prompting for a password to exit a program is bad. If the user cancels at that phase of the run, it's also bad since we leave realtime modules inserted and he'll probably end up being forced to reboot.
