Comments? (The netfilter stuff needs further investigation.)
This _is_ Fedora we're talking about, not RHEL, right? :-) /me has had to replace way too many kernel modules from RHEL, which can't be done if it's built-in.
But Fedora, where we could ship a new kernel every day if we had to? Sure.
In this most drivers are still modular, just the often-used hotpaths are built-in, right? This avoids extra TLB lookups? Whatever happened to mapping modules into the extra space at the end of the kernel's 2MB TLB entries, to get the same benefit?
