If I were to kill the "beep" device, would anyone care?  As far as I can
see, its only benefit is that it's smaller than audiobell+audio+vidcaudio.
It also has a device interface at /dev/beep, but it's not like that
behaves as "documented" or anything.  I think people who really want small
kernels aren't really going to want to spend 5 KB on a console bell
anyway.

If no-one raises a fuss, I'll have it quietly shot next weekend.
