Well, I don't think so... I don't like it if there is a possibility doing it with an initializer, but in other cases it may increase readability, too... There was a discussion about SET_MODULE_OWNER here on the list, once. You can find it here: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?t=104969843600002&r=1&w=2 At the end Rusty made a small patch that never made it into the mainline tree (even if I think it should have...) His mail with the patch can be found at: http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=105065084724249&w=2 (I like the analogy to a mainframe ;-) Best regards Thomas Schlichter
