Requesting module even when it's compiled in

Requesting module even when it's compiled in

[David Vrabel]

Hi,

I've patched a 2.2.17 kernel with the latest mtd-patch-2.2.17 however
the MTD code is from yesterday's CVS.

Compiled into the kernel
	MTD
	CFI support
	Intel Ext suport
	SBC-MediaGX
The SBC-MediaGX driver starts but fails with
	request_module[cfi_probe]: Root fs is not mounted

It shouldn't be looking for a module should it (since it is compiled
into the kernel)?

CONFIG_MODULES is defined. (don't know if this is relevant)

The new inter_module_xxx stuff means the command set drivers need 
initialisation - just exporting a symbol is no longer enough.

I've just added the necessary initcalls to mtdcore.c

It works provided the init functions changed from static to extern.

I will rebuild the patches for 2.2.17 and the latest 2.4.0-x after
you do that.
