Eric Andersenb24da332003-07-22 10:16:58 +000052 This is a special uClinux only memory optimization that lets insmod
53 load the specified kernel module directly into kernel space, reducing
54 memory usage by preventing the need for two copies of the module
55 being loaded into memory.

63 output on stdout. This makes kernel module debugging
64 easier.
65 If you don't plan to debug kernel modules, you
66 don't need this option.
