+AD4 +AD4 +AD4 I have the impression that the code in kernel/power/process.c was
+AD4 +AD4 +AD4 compiled only if CONFIG+AF8-PM+AF8-SLEEP was set. Now that the code has been
+AD4 +AD4 +AD4 moved to kernel/freezer.c, it is unconditionnaly compiled in every
+AD4 +AD4 +AD4 kernel. Is that correct ?
+AD4 +AD4 +AD4
+AD4 +AD4 +AD4 If so, is it possible to put this new feature under some
+AD4 +AD4 +AD4 CONFIG+AF8-SOMETHING option, for people who care about the kernel size ?
+AD4 +AD4 
+AD4 +AD4 	How about making it depend on a combination of CONFIG variables?
+AD4 +AD4 Here's an RFC PATCH. Completely untested.

+AD4 Can you please also make the contents of include/linux/freezer.h depend on
+AD4 CONFIG+AF8-FREEZER instead of CONFIG+AF8-PM+AF8-SLEEP?

Done.

+AD4 Also, I'm not really sure if kernel/power/Kconfig is the right place to define
+AD4 CONFIG+AF8-FREEZER.
+AD4 
+AD4 Perhaps we should even move freezer.c from kernel/power to kernel
+AD4 and define CONFIG+AF8-FREEZER in Kconfig in there.  Andrew, what do you think?

	I'll check this weekend for replies and repost the RFC PATCH on Monday
if I don't hear anything. In the meantime I'll be doing some config
build testing with the above changes to make sure it's correct.

Cheers,
	-Matt
