A new flag is "legacy"?

Why is this ratelimited?  What would cause lots of repeats of this?

Why the extra blank line before this?

And why isn't it using the proper BIT() type macro instead (yeah, the
others are not, I understand...)

Also, what userspace code is going to use this?  How is it tested?
