[Bug 625090] [NEW] [dove] Need to make galcore.ko and bmm_drv.ko built-in

[Eric Miao]

Public bug reported:

As discussed with pitti and NCommander, the benefits of making them
built-in are:

1) to improve the boot performance a bit by avoiding modprobe these two modules
2) to avoid the nasty hacks to the /etc/modules and /etc/modprobe.d as these two modules doesn't support modalias and cannot be automatically loaded on demand

The options to galcore.ko need to be considered though:

options galcore registerMemBase=0xf1840000 irqLine=48
contiguousBase=0x8000000 contiguousSize=0x2000000

And since these are two modules normally always required for the dove
kernel image, it's generally a good idea to get it built-in. The galcore
doesn't support that, so have to hack into the Makefile for that.
