Why does this need to be in the kernel?
Looking to learn not criticize.
coz it's an monolithic architecture, they all get compiled in. if you don't want it, you can compile the kernel yourself, specifically for your hardware.
@sip @panda_abyss and if i remember correctly from the last time i made a bad attempt at that lol its optional sometimes to support a driver as modular but supprt for that driver module still needs to be set during compile? if im wrong just tell me to shut up its been probably 15 or 20 years since i tried to compile my own kernel
