The Modules should really be _totally_ unrelated to kernel itself, like in Netware, the NLM's. In Netware the kernel (called SERVER.EXE, yes Netware is loaded from dos) is quite dumb. After the server is up you load diskdrivers from dos partition, mount your BIG disks, load other NLM's (Netware Loadable Module) like NIC-drivers etc etc.. In there the kernel is the kernel and modules are separate, unrelated to kernel exept by well defined API.
