I've discovered an interesting (but kinda obvious) phenomenon. If you destabilize some part of the kernel, it becomes the natural suspect for problems.
The corollary is, I'm getting more reports on kernel "module" bugs which are not actually my fault at all (and some, like erroneous __init sections, which the new module code just shows up).
This is one: these drivers are actually broken. They give warnings on compile, they won't link when compiled in, and they won't insert as modules.
Hope that clarifies, Rusty. -- Anyone who quotes me in their sig is an idiot. -- Rusty Russell. - 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/
