Hi,

I'm not sure about your first question but in answer to your second
questions... modules are built for every device by default, not just devices
which don't exist in your kernel config. As for your second question, no :)
GENERIC is just the config file for the GENERIC kernel, you will need to
look at LINT in the kernel config directory for all available options
(/usr/src/sys/i386/conf/LINT), if you're using 5.x I think you have to do
`make LINT` from /usr/src/sys/i386/ in order to get this file?

Hope that clears things up a bit.
I'm sure someone here will know the answers to your first questions :)
