I knew that someone was going to say this. But can anyone tell me what's
so bad about kernfs? Especially if we are now going to bloat the kernel
with a linker anyway...
(You might tell from the above that I'm more than unhappy with this trend
to become yet another Slowlaris, where you've got a 500k kernel that cannot
even read a single byte from any device. And while being here, what's good
about having the linker in the kernel? Looks like I must be missing
something...)
Ciao,
Wolfgang
