[PATCH] remove CONFIG_KOBJECT_UEVENT option
It makes zero sense to have hotplug, but not the netlink events enabled today. Remove this option and merge the kobject_uevent.h header into the kobject.h header file. Signed-off-by: Kay Sievers <kay.sievers@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

This option enables the kernel userspace event layer, which is a
|
||||
simple mechanism for kernel-to-user communication over a netlink
|
||||
socket.
|
||||
The goal of the kernel userspace events layer is to provide a simple
|
||||
and efficient events system, that notifies userspace about kobject
|
||||
state changes. This will enable applications to just listen for
|
||||
events instead of polling system devices and files.
|
||||
Hotplug events (kobject addition and removal) are also available on
|
||||
the netlink socket in addition to the execution of /sbin/hotplug if
|
||||
CONFIG_HOTPLUG is enabled.

Say Y, unless you are building a system requiring minimal memory

consumption.
