Dave, I am sorry, plz disregard the patch :( - if the file is a part of the kernel, __exit (and pernet_unregister) will never called and should be dropped - if the file is a part of a module, __init is NOT dropped on the module loading stage
So, we can still make embedded people happy :) Thanks Pavel to pointing me this out. Denis V. Lunev wrote: > The discussion with Eric W.
