Asking random questions on lkml, and relying on the fact that no one
else happens to say anything, is not any judge as to if the answer is
correct at all.
In fact, just asking questions on lkml has a very low chance of ever
getting a correct answer, given that the people that usually do know the
answer to these types of things are usually:
1) not reading lkml because they are busy doing real work
2) annoyed by questions that are easily answered by themselves by
either:
a) reading the code
b) writing a simple example module and testing it out yourself
Good luck,
