Hi Gioh,

I run out of module space because I have several big driver modules.
I know I can strip the modules to decrease size but I need debug info
now.

Are you sure you need the debug info in kernel memory? I don't think the
kernel is actually able to parse DWARF. You can load stripped binaries
into the kernel, and still use the debug info with whatever tool you have.
I agree you but driver developers of another team don't agree.
I don't know why but they say they will strip drivers later :-(
So I need to increase modules space size.
