Hi Adrian,

Hi Samuel,

And I've already given numbers why CONFIG_EMBEDDED=y and
CONFIG_MODULES=y at the same time is insane.

From your numbers this sounds true ... but actually you might want the
modules to delay the init of the various hardware bits...

Sometime boot-time is king and you just try and get back as much of
the size costs as it takes...

this is irrelevant since CONFIG_INPUT alone does not init any hardware.

I think for EMBEDDED and MODULES is actually a very common case ... if
somewhat odd.

You are misunderstanding EMBEDDED.

well, I suggested the following (or a similar)
change some time ago (unfortunately I could not
find it in the lkml archives, so it might have
been lost)

It does _not_ mean "this is an embedded device".
It does mean "offer additional options for additional space savings".

For an embedded system with relaxed space limits, EMBEDDED=n is the
right choice.
