Modularity is not only about reloading modules (although this can be useful for developers in particular.) It's also about enabling many features in a generic distribution kernel and each feature only gets loaded/used on the hardware which needs it. This is why, as a distribution kernel maintainer, I keep complaining when I see boolean options which might easily be tristates. -- Jean Delvare -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
