Comments? (The netfilter stuff needs further investigation.)

If this is going to make it easier to do fancy things in the initrd, I'm all for it. If it's just a TLB thing, I don't think it's worth it.

Won't this make it harder for people to test experimental wireless drivers? Unless the vendors start opening specs, we're going to have a perpetual need to play around in this area with each new hardware rev.

For the love of god, no. We have lots of sound problems that require modprobe magic to troubleshoot and work around. This will require people to rebuild their kernel just to test sound fixes, which will scare away an awful lot of testers and inconvenience the rest.

-CONFIG_EXT3_FS=m

I've been wondering for years why we weren't already doing this.
