I looked at the IRC logs from when this was discussed.  The hwlatdetect
script looks for the kernel module and will fail if it's built-in (or
compressed).  Also this quote from irc: <jkacur> I need to look
at the code, but offhand, I think we said, it cannot be a built-in by design

These were the reasons for the patch.
