Yeah it confirms my intuitive maintenance approach: developer submits
modularization patch, I will be a bit inquisitive and "can't you attempt
to make this thing unload too" and if they conclude that that is
an unfathomable effort I will likely merge it anyway as very likely
the kernel looks better after than before provided all build and test
coverage stays the same as well.

Thanks!
