Public bug reported:
I was doing a kernel config and noticed there are a bunch of ARM/non-x86
only drivers being built on x86 - they're just increasing build time and
taking up space in /lib/modules; spotted so far:
- Exynos random number generator:
./kernel/drivers/char/hw_random/exynos-rng.ko
- Calxeda network driver: ./kernel/drivers/net/ethernet/calxeda
- Mac input: kernel/drivers/macintosh/mac_hid.ko
- ATMEL SoC: ./kernel/sound/soc/atmel/snd-soc-atmel-pcm.ko
I bet there are a bunch of others as well - might be worth having a
clean out of the ones that are physically impossible.
