I'm not sure i understand either. You'd have to ask on the kernel devel
list. These modules and the ax25 modules are the only ones that i know use
this. I run a module-free kernel, but i install module support in the
kernel anyways, and i only get these 3 warning (net-pf 3,4, and 5) (3 is
ax25). Hope this helps.
