Cover letter [RFC PATCH V2 0/1] making order in file2alias
(this message is the RFC, the patch itself is expected to be fine)
This is a repost of what I've sent on Nov 4th. Since Rusty asked to only do the first step, here it is. I rebased on next-20111201 and it still works fine.
As for the previous 2/2 (see https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/11/4/127 ), I still think it makes sense. And as Dave Martin suggested, we can do without the array.
Thus, I may prepare three smaller steps, if that's acceptable (greg?)
step 1: create the ELF section so ENTRY() lines can leave the array
(and change name accordingly).
step 2: each ENTRY() line can be moved just after the associated code
(this means that a new bus is just a single hunk, not 2 of them)
step 3: I create the headers needed to move code and ENTRY in separate
files. This is some movement around, not trivial so it may deserve a patch in itself.
step 4 and later ones: Individual busses may reach their own external file,
conditionally compiled per Kconfig rules.
If that's something worth evaluating, I can do that over the weekend.
thanks
