Hi All,

This is a small series of changes to the filtering of kernel modules from core. Each patch is a mostly self contained subject like usb/drm/network protocols. I split them out to separate patches just to make each one easier to see the bits that were changing.



If I can recall correctly, one of the modular kernel packaging changes was that you could only have kernel-core installed so I have to ask wont this break running systems for users that are relying on things being in kernel-core since then?

And since the kernel modular change was aimed to achieve the smallest as well as the most flexible footprint I have to ask is there something preventing putting every kernel module in it's own sub package ( kernel-module-<module> ) to prevent ( potential ) breakage in the future as people go smaller and smaller which will eventually lead to what I have described here.
