It's not always compiled into the kernel (see the 2.6 implementation) and is pretty much a dumb idea (we shouldn't be putting device string databases in the kernel, it can be done much easier in userspace). Also, the function will probably go away for good in 2.7. What do you need that function for? Printing a pretty name to the syslog? thanks, greg k-h -- Kernelnewbies: Help each other learn about the Linux kernel.
