Subject: [PATCH] restrict inter_module_* to its last users
Date: Fri, 8 Apr 2005 19:08:05 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20050408170805.GE2292@wohnheim.fh-wedel.de> (raw)
Derived from a patch Arjan sent around.

The cheapest, fastest and most reliable components of a computer
system are those that aren't there.
-- Gordon Bell, DEC labratories
Next step for inter_module removal. This patch makes the code
conditional on its last users and shrinks the kernel binary for the
huge majority of people.
