About compile testing: I build all possible modules for x86 (32 & 64) on my
builds (distro-like) to reduse various PC configuration. Basic version of this
script used before.

Are I must check bools vs. tristates or just look to C-code?

I prepare PCI patch without checking for bools. All staging modules looks
unstrict (not walking deep) to relating with PCI. All normal modules is strict
PCI. I keep #ifdef in staging only. Also 2 new modules coming from linux-next
branch (1+1 - strict and unstrict), second attachment.

PS Are the better to inline patches vs. attachment?
