Seems reasonable in principle.

This kind of ifdef is horrid though, and should be avoided at all costs.
A setting of CONFIG_xxx_MODULE should not affect the *static* kernel
image. You should be able to enable an additional module, build it and
use it without having to rebuild/reboot the kernel.

I know there are *some* cases where we violate that rule, but that
doesn't make it any nicer.
