Disable qe service in stockrom

I know there are only few people using stockrom here, but according to this:
Carrier IQ, round 2: Motorola's Android devices are running "Qe", a process which logs all modifications to the stock OS and sends them back to Motorola
nomatter VZW or MOTO do this, i decide to remove the service.
By disabling "service qe" section in /init.target.rc will totally disable /xbin/qe running while our xt897 is booting, and this will also speed up the booting time.
we can do this by modifying the boot partition.

Disclaimer:
!! This is only for Photon Q 4G LTE stockrom !!
Most custom roms are already removed qe from boot partition.
I cannot be held responsible if anything goes wrong while using this mod.

how to flash:
adb reboot bootloader
fastboot flash boot mmcblk0p31_boot_mod.img

how to check:
every time you reboot the phone, "/xbin/qe /system" will be executed, and the result will be stored in /data/misc/qer
delete /data/misc/qer and reboot, you should no longer see the qer appeared anymore.

I also attached the original boot partition image just in case anything goes wrong.
(mmcblk0p31_boot.img is the original one)
