You don't turn them off - you just don't run them. What I'm suggesting is not a separate system that runs a stripped-down Linux kernel, but rather a device that looks like another node in a NUMA system. There might be a point in completely excluding subsystems that will never be used on that NIC anyway, but that's already an optimization. - Werner -- _________________________________________________________________________ / Werner Almesberger, Buenos Aires, Argentina werner@almesberger.net / /_http://www.almesberger.net/____________________________________________/ - 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/
