I don't understand the question, sorry. If this is about the number of KALLSYMS invocations in the kernel build, that should be unchanged by this patch. This was an explicit design goal because it's quite slow to run kallsyms more times and I was already feeling guilty about having to bring back the tristate recursion. I haven't tried it with Zhen Lei's work: will try for the next iteration, as a matter of course after the rebase. (And, looking at the patch series at the top of modules-next, wow is that quite a hefty performance improvement. And a hefty memory usage increase :( I have a horrible feeling that one of my machines won't have enough memory to boot after this goes in, but it was terribly outdated anyway.)
