I just noticed that some of my original intent of this MK knob was blurred when renaming to "MK_SOURCELESS". The part that is relevant to me (I don't know about others, just talking for myself here!) is whether a driver is completely built from source or if a chunk of binary bytes (either uuencode'd or as a C array) is used instead. But of course if source is available we could avoid this debate by just integrating it into the tree :-). Is this something that would be desireable in FreeBSD? I notice there's something similar already (sys/dev/aic7xxx/aicasm). Btw, which would be the appropiate list to discuss this? freebsd-arch?
