Re: [PATCH v2 2/6] driver core: Add common support to skip probe for un-authorized devices

If all you want to do is prevent someone from loading a bunch of
drivers that you have identified as unhardened, why not just use a
modprobe blacklist?
That wouldn't help for builtin drivers, we cannot control initcalls.

This LWN article has more details on the background.
