Another quick look at the source shows a couple of things.
++ every supported architecture does the malloc of syscalls_tbl.
++ console_setfile() currently requires it.
++ boot_command.c currently requires it.
-- I'll retract the bit about console_init_r needing it, as I see that
there is
an alternative....and I wasn't using the syscall version anyway.
Do you still feel its allocation should be coded around? I quickly
re-submit a patch with the VFD movement removed. If needed I can attempt to
clean up the console_setfile and place in boot_command.c which currently
needs it...but I defiantly am not in a position to test all effected ports.
...you are amazingly responsive for someone seven hours ahead...
Best Regards,
Richard W.
