Hi all,
this is an idea that I think possible.
It is possible to fit all the driver initialization & probing code in a separate ELF section that can be discarded after kernel initializations ?
This code, after the kernel initialization, is unused, why don't free it ?
Yes! We need to modify all driver initialization code, but I think this solution can be able to free 1/5 or 1/6 of the kernel size, specialy in a big kernel.
