Make it a configure option, forced by drivers that need them and up to the builder otherwise (default to "yes", I'd suppose).
Going a bit further, there are several cases of "library" stuff in the kernel (CRC, gzip come to mind). Dunno if it is enough stuff to set up a specific policy and perhaps CML support (or suggestions on how to use CML2 for this case). -- Horst von Brand vonbrand@sleipnir.valparaiso.cl Casilla 9G, Vin~a del Mar, Chile +56 32 672616 - 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/
