WatchGuard (www.watchguard.com) makes a product (which is an lkm itself)
called ServerLock which prevents this sort of thing (touching the kernel
at all in a potentially-hazardous way, really) as well as placing
additional restrictions on filesystem write accesses.  I've used it a
bit and it seems to be pretty decent, althought it does not co-exist
with Veritas filesystem at all without causing *Major* problems.
