Your distro is building all of these modules into the kernel.
	CONFIG_XFS_FS=y
	CONFIG_JFS_FS=y
	CONFIG_GFS2_FS=y

This isnt exactly standard practice, normally they'd be set to =m and only
used if required to mount a filesystem. You may want to ask the slackware
people why they chose to do this for their hugexxx.s kernels.
