Does localmodconfig set drivers to n such that they aren't even
compiled? Or are they m such that they are modules that are only
loaded on demand? I'm going to guess the answer is n, the point of
which is it saves a ton of compile time, not so much creating a lean
kernel (as anything not needed wouldn't be loaded anyway). Correct?
