I'm actually opposed to changing this back without knowing that it's actually used in the EC2 environment. Even more, I was actually considering making it (and other stuff - crypto comes to mind immediately) =m again in the -xen configs, unless it is known that these bits are used on the vast majority of systems. After all that's what modules are for, and I don't see the point of a bloated kernel (not even with the argument of boot speed, as I doubt anyone has ever tried to compare the run time effect [accumulated over the perhaps long periods of run time] with the boot time effect) when only a subset of users actually uses the features in question.
I don't understand what you mean by "run time effect" here. How does having the ipv6 module, or any other module, built into the kernel, have any effect on the runtime speed of the kernel over time? confused, greg k-h -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-kernel+help@opensuse.org
