Linus' didn't like the idea to make that a config option, commented "either it works or it doesn't", so I left it out. The code is small anyway, and the data tables can be freed, so making it an option doesn't make much sense. IMHO there are way to many config options anyway ... cheers, Gerd -- Gerd 'just married' Hoffmann I'm the hacker formerly known as Gerd Knorr. http://www.suse.de/~kraxel/just-married.jpeg - 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/
