It's great to see the driver be modularised since removing unneeded
drivers (for example, on powerpc and embedded platforms) can save
~200KB.
Yep, thats the main idea behind this move, minimizing the footprint.
With this and some of the _NO_ options to the world build an almost
reasonable sized FreeBSD can be made.
FreeBSD seems to have grown *alot* of fat over the last years, not to
mention ports where installing one small application gets you both a
pony and a barn to keep it in as a "bonus" 8^)
Could you add some documentation for the modules in /sys/conf/NOTES
please? I looked through the sources and put together the patch for
8.0 which is avaiable at
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=kern/133162 but it sounds
like some more drivers will need to be added for 7.2.
Good catch, included in my WIP here, when/if I get to put up another
release of this it will be in there, thanks!
PS: For official inclusion in FreeBSD someone with a commit bit will
have to look into this.
