Hmm, then it depends whether the kernel is for users or for developers. I, as a user, do not really want to compile drivers with allmodconfig which I have no way to load/use. And allmodconfig is basically what we, users (SUSE distributors in this case) do. So having this driver being built makes our life harder (in the meaning we have to have specific rules about disabling unwanted drivers from configs). And, developers should have a testbed where they build 32bit configs. And we actually have that for -next AFAIU. thanks, -- js suse labs -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
