Comment 3 for bug 923094

I was wondering if you requested this module be built into the upstream kernel(Either on LKML or an upstream bug)?

You may wonder why the kernel team doesn't just build this module into the kernel. The reason is that the kernel team is reluctant (not opposed) to apply any patches or changes to a stable kernel that is not from upstream. Applying patches or adding modules that don't come from upstream add greatly to the support of the kernel as other upstream patches/changes may touch the same area as the non-upstream patch/change and may cause other issues.
