Hi,

I have a couple of questions concerning the new kernel module loader.

* will it work with stripped kernels/modules? Currently used modload
requires a kernel with symbols.

* what size of temporary files will it produce in process of loading?
Currently used modload runs normal ld, which produces a ca. 30kB file in
/tmp. This may sound for you like nothing, but it's very important for
tiny systems.

* is it supposed to be (eventually) used instead of current lkm?

Thanks.

Andrzej Bialecki
