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

[Eric Miao]

** Description changed:

  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.
