It provides the ability for module-init-tools to know which modules to load when a user asks for a device node that is not present in the system yet by exporting the information in the modules. It also moves some misc devices from a dynamic number to a static one as they are getting popular on a lot of systems. Please pull from: master.kernel.org:/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core-2.6.git/ This patch has been in the linux-next and mm trees. The patch will be sent as a follow-on to this message to lkml for people to see, but it's already been sent there a number of times, so it's nothing new. thanks, greg k-h ------------ Documentation/devices.txt | 2 ++ arch/x86/kernel/microcode_core.c | 1 + drivers/net/ppp_generic.c | 4 ++-- drivers/net/tun.c | 1 + fs/autofs4/dev-ioctl.c | 5 ++++- fs/btrfs/super.c | 5 ++++- fs/fuse/dev.c | 1 + include/linux/miscdevice.h | 2 ++ 8 files changed, 17 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-) --------------- Kay Sievers (1): driver core: add devname module aliases to allow module on-demand auto-loading
