Agreed.  On Fedora it's compiled in, and also I notice that the
virtio-scsi module doesn't require it so it won't be pulled in by
module dependencies.

scsi_mod.ko seems like it might be in a similar situation?

I'll partially revert this patch, just sd_mod.ko for now.

BTW please see also my series on analyzing the launch process.  You
might find it interesting.  I'll post an updated patch series in a
moment.

Rich.
