Comment 21 for bug 355232

@ Dana Goyette
Even if that's possible, I don't think it's a good idea. The whole module architecture was made specifically for the case of loading and unloading them, and it's not good to have another way of basically doing the same thing.

If you revert these to modules, I will hunt you down and kill you.

Even if it's meant as a joke, it's not funny.

The problem is what it is. The module should not be compiled in the kernel in the first place! I don't understand why it is so hard to have one module not built in. It might take 0.001 seconds longer to load and will offer good possible improvements. I understand people's concern that the change might make the system more unstable, but using undervolting is a CHOICE. Also if it's done right, it won't make the system more unstable. It will also improve battery life and reduce heat...

To hell with it. If there's no activity soon, i'll take a few versions (kernels for Lucid, and some Maverick alphas), and benchmark them as default or without the modules compiled in (maybe the phc version). Since I only have access to a few machines, I hope others do it also, so we can finally prove if it's bullshit or not to say it's slower.
