NAK.  This is not functionality that should be used by a module to
start, and even if it was exporting functionality is only acceptable
for proper mainline modules, not code in the staging tree.

Why do you want to do this?  Does it ever make sense to do this type of
thing for your kernel?  What does changing these to modules enable you
to do differently?

As it is, I think the code should stay non-modular.

thanks,

Apparently I've misread "- make sure things build as modules properly"
line in drivers/staging/android/TODO...
My bad.

Nope, not your fault, I forgot about that.  We should remove that TODO
item, as it doesn't make sense for these "non-discoverable" modules to
be built as a module.

Care to make a patch for that?

I'll make, no problem.
What about other irrelevant parts of that TODO, like, e.g.,  dead
Brian Sweetland address? Remove them as well?
