Actually it isn't.
If we tamper with the linux-$version.tar tarball, the md5's/.signs from
upstream would differ, which would break the current build process.
If we added a patch to remove fs/ntfs, that patch would get distributed
with the kernel .src.rpm

I imagine our legal folks have already done the legwork on this one, and
come to the conclusion that shipping the source isn't a problem, whereas
shipping a binary is.
