I don't know what policy is on when to add kernel modules to the default
builds. But at least I can ask, right? Every kernel upgrade, I have to
compile the kernel myself just to get a single module: the Elantech
trackpad driver for my Asus laptop. Might we roll this into the defaut
config?

The policy is approximately, enable things as modules that people might
need, otherwise disable and enable on request (as long as it does not
break things for others)

Bascially, I would like to avoid having things there that nobody uses
but on the other hand it is also nice if new users can just boot up and
i "just works".

Ofcourse. You should have asked earlier.

I have enabled it and pushed. should be available in linux-grsec-3.8.2-r4
