Do you mean something like... sed 's/0x111, 0x/0x111, 0x, "The dev name"/' You could do this in place or on a -ids.h. I'm sure it would be better ro use an awk script to prune the info from .h and just have it distributed by default. My vote is to have it bloat the kernel source, just

Hi, Here are my plans to split the binary snapshot into a device-specific and a common (device-independent) part. This was discussed briefly on the last IRC meeting. I attached a patch to the snapshot scripts. ATM it's only to illustrate the idea, it is completely untested. After Ian's driinterfa

I've been down the branch path before. I have many thousands of lines of changes. If I do all of them on a branch sometime in the future people might decide to merge them. When that happens everyone will say there is too much code and it is too complex to understand, break it up into small patches
