So I'd only remove the forced _configurability_ - we can still keep those
variables just fine. They modularize the code and they might be useful later on
if
for some reason there's some really bad performance aspect that would make one
of
these lockdep components to be configured out by default.
Just make the user interface sane - i.e. only one switch needed to enable full
lockdep. Internal modularization is fine, as long as it's not ugly and the user
is
not burdened with it.
Thanks,
Ingo
