I thought that Linus was quoted as saying that the function of the
kernel should not be to pass messages to modules. That it should
interact directly with hardware. (obviously I am not quoting here).
ie. the kernel _should_ be monolithic. Why are they going to
"module-only" kernels? Can you point me to an article on this?
