In theory the module could be always auto loaded (by adding a exported pci_device_id to the driver). However for 99% of users it would be wasted memory, as they never monitor anything. One way to handle it would be just to add a request_module with appropiate aliases to perf. -Andi -- 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/
