[RFC v2 09/10] kdb: Improve usability of help text when running in kiosk mode

From: Daniel Thompson
Date: Wed Apr 02 2014 - 11:45:09 EST


Currently 'help' in kiosk mode results in help text being issued for many
commands the user cannot actually run. Filter the help list when kiosk
mode is engaged to ensure help is fully relevant.

Filtering the list is also greatly simplifies scanning for commands that
may have been accidentally classified as safe.
