BTW: my mom always said "Don't use floating-point code in kernel." ;-}
Compile drivers/scsi/scsi_debug.c after defining "SCSI_DATARATE" and
"SCSI_SETUP_LATENCY".
This generates floating-point code in kernel, on intel something like:
fldl .LC25
fmulp %st,%st(1)
fldl .LC26
fdivr %st,%st(1)
What's happen now ? request_module(...) in kernel's SIGILL handler ?
Failed ? Press the magic red button, and generally don't boot with
init=/usr/bin/porvray again. :-}
I think there are far many more reasons not to modularize FP-emulation.
