I'd say that namesys is using UML (user-mode-linux.sf.net) to develop 
raiser4 (smart guys, uml rocks).

These are probably left overs from UML's SKAS-host patch. If I'm correct 
you may try to reverse the SKAS patch from that tree (the patch is 
located at UML's site). It won't do any harm, anyway...
