Just genunix and unix, I believe.
How much is saved when the whole kernerl with all modules gets compiled
with "-xstrconst" ?
There isn't any kernel compilation step that "compiles" kernel modules against
the kernel. The closest we have is global lint and ctf manipulation.
The kernel modules are compiled separately from the kernel proper; if you make a
mistake, the module doesn't load.
