Well, in that case it would be nice when this would be (also) a kernel compile
option. It's ok if it is access controled, but when the functionality is not
there, it cannot be activated by accident. This soft mode is mostly useful in
development environments, not in production environments.

I didn't know /proc entries could be access controlled, how does one do that?

BTW, the 2.2.18 kernel doesn't compile with v1.1.1-pre4 when REG modules is
deselected in the kernel configuration. Some symbol is undefined reg...handle
in a function prototype. Sorry, but I can't give more information right now, I
forgot to write the error message down... <shame> <shame>

I think it's some symbol leakage that shouldn't occur when REG modules support
is deselected.

Groetjes,
