There's something I don't understand in this thread: what is the point
of having the code in kernel if you still have to use modload to make it
availble ? Why not comment it out in kernel and have users modload it
if they want to ?

said earlier, but on a different list, see

OK. So you want this because (some?) compat modules can't be dynamically
loaded. This problem should be fixed, instead of of worked around in
such a ugly way.

If you have a fix to untangle this mess, be my guest. I proposed to reimplement
the 43* functions separately into compat_linux, people disagreed.
