Message-ID: <20100628230035.GA18971@dtor-ws.eng.vmware.com> Date: Mon, 28 Jun 2010 16:00:35 -0700 From: Dmitry Torokhov <dtor@...are.com> To: Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org> Cc: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Subject: [PATCH] VMware balloon: force compiling as a module VMware Tools installer requires the upstream driver to be compiled as a module in order to detect its presence and avoid installing our own version on top of it. To avoid surprises with 2 versions of the driver being installed and fighting with each other, let's force the driver to be compiled as a module unless user selects CONFIG_EMBEDDED.
