Could be solved by packaging additional modules, Familiar did this, you 
can have kernel-modules-nfs package etc. Would be nice to have most 
modules packaged like this and have depmod/modprobe on device working. 
I'd vote against various precompiled kernels with different combinations 
if it can be solved by modules.

Or is there significant memory overhead for modules?
