Perhaps the problem can be dealt with using ELF relocations.
There is another case, discussed yesterday on netdev, where run-time resolution of ELF relocations would be useful (for very-very-very-read-only variables) so if it can solve this problem too it would be nice to have a generic infrastructure for it. - 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/
