Hmm. You're assuming that interrupts are working when the hooks are run,= = rather than assuming that it's safe to do things which will subsequently = cause interrupts which ought to be correctly handled. I'd hazard a guess that the presence of modules is causing the kernel = linker to run and pull all the sysctl hooks for modules it's finding. = I'm probably wrong, just a guess. > > Also, I note that you've only partially newbussed the code; I don't s= ee = > > any busspace/busdma stuff in there.
