Is this restriction for commit text mandatory? It seems like I got an
email from Andrew Morton that my patch was wordwraped even commit
text.

Ok, Thanks I'll remove it.

Actually I don't want to remove it :), Is there any reason why you think so?

This is what I really wanted to ask. I'm trying not to use '#ifdef'.
By the way, why most of drivers use protect suspend/resume functions
with #ifdef? Just for saving code size?

In 'include/linux/module.h'

 96 /* For userspace: you can also call me... */
 97 #define MODULE_ALIAS(_alias) MODULE_INFO(alias, _alias)

>From comment above, I think MODULE_ALIAS is optional. Do you still
think MODULE_ALIAS needs?

And when I send new version of patch, I will add [PATCH] in front of subject.
Thank you for reviewing and letting me ask.
