On the hardware support side it is a bad idea I think.  Too many
different use cases and lines between them are blurry, so I suspect it
becomes messy quickly if you try to split it fine-grained.

"all netfilter modules" is pretty clear and so is the use case (=want
firewall).  But maybe not worth the trouble, didn't check what size they
sum up to.
