Didn't it work in the end? If it worked, I don't see what the big issue was. You are getting a _lot_ of other code in the kernel that you probably never use, you may not even have realized. Uwe, you really aren't helping yourself by being so damn abrasive. I know for a fact that your bug-reports are going ignored by some people, and I'm not surprised at all.
