n_gsm is available on all the systems I have available. The mention of
'EXPERIMENTAL' in the module description appears to have zero effect on
whether distros choose to make it available or not. If you're saying
that we know this module is BROKEN however, then perhaps we should mark
it as such.

Also, I think this requires root to set this line discipline to the
console, right? A normal user can't do that, or am I missing a code
path here?

I haven't been testing long, but yes, early indications show that root
is required.

FWIW I concluded to the same yesterday, so I disputed the connected CVE-2023-31082. Waiting for mitre's ack/nack.
