Of course, and even if it's built into the kernel tree it doesn't have
to be monolithic (one binary.) Current kinit is monolithic (although
there are chunks available as standalone binaries, and I have gotten
requests to break out more), but that's mostly because I've been
concerned about bloating the overall size of the kernel image for
embedded people.
