So what will your userland code do when you run it on a system with non-modular kernel currently running?
IOW, that's a fundamentally broken interface - you really want the same information regardless of modular vs. built-in. - 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/
