Ah yes, you are right.

I must admit, i never thought much about systems using kernel modules.
My experience so far, is that systems using kirkwood tend to have
nearly all drivers built in. The exception seems to be wifi, IPv6, and
all plug+play drivers for USB.

However, now i start thinking about it, with the move to one kernel
per ARM architectures, we are probably going to have more and more
systems using modules, since for example it makes little sense to have
the sata_mv driver built in, when run on an AT91 system...
