Hi All. Ignited by recent discussions on -arch about shrinking the binary footprint for small systems I searched around in my forest of devel tree's and found a branch where I've split up ATA's chipset code into vendor specific modules. This is usefull in many ways, so I'm planning on committing this soonish, but lets have a round of testing first: It can be found on http://deepcore.dk/pub/ATA as two files, ata- modules-diff that contains a diff for /sys/conf/files and ata- modules.tgz that is a replacement for /sys/dev/ata. This turns the chipset parts into a module for each vendor, and they are all compiled in as is, however they can be left out on a pr vendor basis (there are a few interdependencies though). I havn't written all the /sys/modules/ata/*/Makefiles that it would take to make it into loadable modules, but thats trivial todo. Let me know how this works out! -SørenReceived on Sun Oct 05 2008 - 07:51:26 UTC
