I don't know, that wasn't the problem I was trying to solve.
Given the context of the thread, this:
>> loading modules through loader.conf is
>> veeeeeerrrrryyyyyy sssssllllloooooowwwwww ...
seemed to be an objection to modularizing the kernel. Hence my
Looks more like an opinion. In fact, I work on a modularized kernel
config which I want to commit to -current at some point (for those
which do not care how long it takes to boot the system).
The goal of my work is to produce something like GENERIC+more, just as
much as possible loaded as kld's (the "+more" part is the result of a
poll I did on stable@, it contains only stuff which can not be loaded
as a kld, and I provide a loader.conf which disables the parts which
would cause a major change in behavior). Currently I'm doing some
compile testing, I should be able to provide something for review soon
(on current@).
Bye,
Alexander.
