Actually I just realised...
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.
Cheers
