Please discuss on tech-kern or one of the normal conversation lists! :-)

I'd like to make a suggestion then. Rather than adding a long variable to
turn off the opt_foo.h inclusion, add a variable to turn it in.

So all the #if defined(_KERNEL) && !defined(_KERNEL_NO_OPT_H) stuff
becomes #ifdef _KERNEL_OPT_H

Much cleaner. :-)

Take care,
