[Bug 296710] Re: warning: ehci_hcd loaded AFTER uhci_hcd and ohci_hcd

[Paul Sladen]

Scott: sure, but compiling this in hasn't fixed that bug either... but
has had the (negative) impact of just making it even harder to
diagnose/debug with end-users.

Eg. it's no longer possible to request "Hi XYZ, could you try 'modprobe
-r abcd_hci' then 'modprobe ...' and post 'find /sys -path ... | xargs
grep .' " We've instead just got a massive black box that collectively
"doesn't work as of -11.38" with no possibility of an interim workaround
while it's investigated.

Ubuntu was about the first distribution to go fully modular and has
benefited significantly from that choice.  It wasn't /easy/ to do;  all
the hard stuff with initramfs building and module hooks was *made to
work*, even though it was complex.

If boot-speed and an easy life are the only reasons to ditch that policy
of modularity then it's the focus narrow-minded and not being forward
looking.

Presumbly the kernel does not have a single 'usb_hci' module for a
reason;  but this "subtle" change has created one.
