[SOLVED] modules.builtin

According to docs, modules.builtin "lists all modules that are built into the kernel.". However, pciehp (for example) seems to be builtin:

$ zgrep -i "hotplug_pci" /proc/config.gz
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE=y
...

but isn't listed in modules.builtin. What am I missing or misunderstanding?

But whether the Constitution really be one thing, or another, this much is certain - that it has either authorized such a government as we have had, or has been powerless to prevent it. In either case, it is unfit to exist.

Re: [SOLVED] modules.builtin

That is no longer a module.

Re: [SOLVED] modules.builtin

Seems there's a bit of a terminology problem, because pciehp still appears in /sys/modules. Does that make it a non-modular module?
