Does anyone know why 'serial' is built straight into the kernel RPMs
rather than building it in as a module?  (CONFIG_SERIAL)  The reason I
ask is because most things are modularised but not serial, which just
happens to be one thing you need to be modularised in order to hotsync a
Palm over IR.

Could this be done for future kernel RPMs?  I tried rebuilding with
the kernel-source installed with just changing CONFIG_SERIAL=y to
CONFIG_SERIAL=m, but it pukes during compilation.  Normally I'd just
roll my own, but I need one of the '3rdparty' modules for a Quickcam.

Thanks in advance,
