So I am really not happy with this.  Here is a common embedded
workflow, at least for me:

1. take some given Kconfig and get it running on the target.

2. for the given HW, change the modules into built-ins, and forget
   module loading

After this series, if I don't pay enough attention to dmesg, then I
have lost functionality that I had in step #1.  That sucks, and it has
nothing to do with the tinification option at all.  It will bite even
if I have no knowledge of it.  That isn't acceptable to me.

Thanks,
Richard
