If you make it a module you also need to add MODULE_DEVICE_TABLE for the PCI IDs and also add x86_cpu_id tables/annotations for the model numbers. Otherwise the module would always need to be loaded manually which would break existing setups. Of course it's a bit of a waste because in many cases the uncore driver will not be needed. One alternative would be to only add some module aliases and then add code in the perf core to probe the alias when that PMU is accessed. That would likely work for most of perf, except for perf list (which does not know what pmu to probe) Other than that it's very useful, it was long overdue to make these drivers modular. -Andi -- [email protected] -- Speaking for myself only
