I think when the system reboots it will only load the modules it needs from /lib/modules/[kernel version]/kernel/drivers/media... It won't load everything in that directory into the kernel/memory right? So the only reason one might want to use "make menuconfig"; is to prevent irrelevant compiled modules ending up in... /lib/modules/[kernel version]/kernel/drivers/media Feel free to correct if this understanding is wrong.
