You are correct. Not for the size reasons though, but I want to be able
to change as much as possible on the fly, without a reboot, and I cannot
"kldunload kernel" yet. ;-)
Another thing is that, while this is kinda unsupported configuration, it
should work, even being an edge case. So it's a good test if our kernel
has no hidden dependencies which would inhibit use of a module when it
exists. Personally I do not see much benefits in having mem/io as modules,
but if they are provided, I should be able to load them from the loader.
If they must be compiled in, I suggest we stop shipping them as modules so
not to confuse people (even that one must specially use "nodevice" to
exclude them).
