Hi Ingo,
can you add this small notice to the lockdep option ?
Lock dependency infrastructure forces all legacy code which uses lock to now
depend on lockdep_init_map symbol, which is GPL-only. It means that almost
no modules can work on kernel with CONFIG_LOCKDEP set. Let's warn user about
that.
vmmon: module license 'unspecified' taints kernel.
vmmon: Unknown symbol lockdep_init_map
Thanks,
Petr Vandrovec
