[Question] Compiling INTO the kernel.

[mattatobin]

Is there any way without major refactoring to just compile these into a fat kernel for personal use? As in not modules.

I imagine if you were to drop the directory somewhere in the kernel tree (.../drivers/misc/vmware-modules, maybe?) then modify the new directory and parent directory's "Makefile" and "Kconfig", it should work.

That being said, maybe make the new dir be a git submodule so you can update that as changes happen here

Also, and maybe this has changed, but I'm pretty sure the in-kernel-tree vmw_vmci module has to be an actual module, else you don't get the misc-device node created; this may be the same for some of the other VMWare modules.
