Hello, developers.
I'm pleased to annouce CBUS - ultra fast (for insert operations)
message bus.
This message bus allows message passing between different agents
using connector's infrastructure.
It is extremly fast for insert operations so it can be used in performance
critical pathes instead

Some parts of the kernel want to notify the user about deprecated or
invalid calls or parameters. These messages will slowly fill dmesg and
hinder you from seing the boot messages.
Examples are:
atkbd.c:
Introduce printk_nospam, which will prevent duplicate and excessive
printing.

I'm often building the tree with gcc -W to look for potential trouble
spots, and of course I see a lot of warning messages. I'm well aware that
most of these don't indicate actual problems and should just be ignored,
but the less warnings there are the easier it is to zoom in on the ones

The exact solution does not matter that much to me, and I'm afraid I
do not know how changing KBUILD_MODNAME affects the rest of the

I do understand that a filesystem is a particularly poor API for many
things, and I'm not in favour of 'sqlfs' or 'ftpfs', but fuse IS a great
enabler. 'encfs' would be hard to do from kernel space (or at least, a lot
harder). http://arg0.net/users/vgough/encfs.html

This is performance critical, so I would like the check to remain. A comment
may be added in this section.
Hm, if we used Yoshifuji's inline kfree(), you'd get both. A check and a clean
code. (Though I would not move kfree to __kfree, but make the inline variant
explicitly different
