Or does that just set bad precedent? That is what netconsole does now, and this is fine, since netconsole is a module too, however, after you move that code into netpoll, then netpoll will have a dependence on it, we will have problems. I think we can let NETPOLL_TARGET depend on CONFIGFS_FS=y, but I still see no reason why CONFIGFS_FS should be a module. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-api" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
