Well. I don't think that it contains everything.
Do `kldstat -v` to get informations on modules built into kernel and modules
loaded seperately.
You can mark code pieces you want to have in kernel by writing a KERNCONF
file. Details can be taken from handbook[1]. You may find other step-by-step
instructions in forum[2] and on several blogs. I saw some posts of people
sharing their minimal kernel configuration file. It's interesting for people
using laptops and wanting to save as much power as possible, too.
